Default RE: What is Crow?


ORIGINAL: mscic-RCU

Crow or butterfly is mixing flaps, ailerons and elevator together to basically use as dive brakes. Ailerons are up, flaps down with a little bit of down elevator. put the plane into a full vertical dive at engine idle, and the plane will not gain any speed. pull up at ten feet and land. pretty cool, just set up an ultra stick and playing with it now.
Yeah! That's what I saw... No way in hell was I going to be able to explain it like that (i'm new to the hobby), but it looked really cool when it was used.
