Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

You guys are awesome... I kicked the ailerons up like was suggested, and no more tip stalling. I also tried a couple different approaches into a hover and I think my problem was lack of throttle. I was expecting to hover around 1/2 throttle but it looks more like it's 3/4 or so. But yeah, after making sure the ailerons were equal with my angle pro, i did not have to TOUCH the aileron trim. I actually had to trim the nose down just a little bit, but that just put the elevator dead center with the stab. I also kicked up the rates on my tail a bit and was able to keep it in a hover about like I expected myself to do for my first attempt. Probably about 3-5 seconds. But it's a start.
Edit: Should mention that I was flying in 20-25mph winds. I was able to land my ultra stick in the grass with about 3 feet of roll afterwards. WAY too windy for the twist but I really wanted to see if the tips worked. I'll try and post again sunday if we get better wind conditions...
Again thanks for all the help guys!!!!
I think I'll keep this bird for a while

As a side note, Jack... it's not a good idea to breathe that smoke that comes off the balsa after you put CA on it
