You may have to work a little harder to keep it on track so consider it a training aid to actually using rudder.
That's what I was thinking
The real problem is in pulling vertical. I can keep the plane tracking in straight lines, but it has to be pointed to the side a little. Pulling into vertical pulls it off to one side. But yes, rudder control should be able to help that.
Ok, I'll do it. You might want to try a Venus II. They are a great flying plane.
For my next plane I'm definitely thinking about it. I'm gonna fly my Dolphin up through the competition, then give this some serious thought (when the Decathlon is flying). The Venus 40 is at the top of my 'wish list' at Tower, especially because I can gut the Dolphin and use everything (servos, engine) from that.
I still have a lot to learn, and really still need to practice things like (landing?
). I just need stick time, so the Dolphin might be nice to keep around to beat on some more, and save my other planes.
I love the looks of the Nitromodels Quest 50, but the covering and build quality of Great Planes is definitely pulling me in that direction.
