Default Anyone know where to find plans for a serial interface for FMS?

Filtr, your post looked lonely, albeit a bit off topic. I’m not an expert on 3D aerobatics. I’m not sure how well FMS can emulate complex maneuvers such as flat spins and the like (I have not yet mastered these). Still working on my torque rolls. Part of the issue is definitely related to the set-up of the model. Take a look at the RC-Sim.de site (in German but you can get to the download area easy enough):

http://www.rc-sim.de/index1.htm

See the download section under “Flugzeuge” - 16 download pages.

This site has hundreds of FMS planes you can download. Some of these have real aggressive characteristics and can probably do most 3D maneuvers (with practice). See for example the third download page (FMS Flugzeuge 3), the Fun11 plane. This is a “profile fuselage” plane that can do all kinds of 3D stuff like knife edge loops using rudder only and the like. I have been toying around with the idea of getting this type of plane down the road a bit (e.g., Morris Hobbies Fun Design, Morris The Knife, Su-Do-Khoi, Tower Hobbies Fun 51 ..).

There is also a program call Par Designer that helps in editing FMS “.par” files so that you can modify the characteristics of FMS models. This can help you set-up the planes to fly more to your liking. You can add ailerons to models that only have rudder control, increase control throws, add power, remove dihedral effect and the like.

Good luck
