Default RE: Showtime

my showtime is on the stock cg and that is perfect for straight stuff and 3d. just put it where the book says, it will de everything from there. i use a spoileron mix to pop it up into a nice wall and also to get my elevators to sink real hard, but not for anything else. i have tried the spoileron mix for harriers and it really didnt seem to hurt or help, so i just leave it off for them. this plane is touchy and you have to learn what makes it upset. it will tip over pretty quick, but if you stay one step ahead of it, you will be fine, assuming you have enough power to escape a bad mistake..(saito 150)..

waterfalls, harriers, elevators all need CONSTANT rudder input. the rudder is what makes it smooth. the rudder is what makes it possible. the showtime gives signs that it is headed for trouble while in high alpha. the signs are very subtle and must be paid close attention to. when i do harriers, i am always pushing it back in line with the rudder.. always. it never floats around like a profile.

my elevators are all messed up, one is higher than the other because the factory cut the hinge slots wrong. they don't seem to go up togetehr perfectly, but it sure doesn't show up in walls or anything. is your engine thurst ok? wrong engine thrust totally ruins 3d. what engine?
