Do you hold a knife edge! I spent two hours on the sim tonight and got the knife to hold on an edge 330 for only a couple of times. What is the technique for holding it straight and steady? I had a 10 Mph head wind loaded. That plane handles amazing on the sim! Don't know why but want to learn to knife. So where should I start? Flying Thursday evening! Time goes ahead this weekend!! That will mean more evening flying!
Have a nice week Ya'll!!


G'day Mate,
As has been typed above, the plane needs to be trimmed, & balanced first, you must find the sweet spot, balance wise.
Have a plenty powerful rudder & rudder servo, never nose heavy, & the best tip of all.
When aileron stick goes out, rudder goes out, when aileron stick goes in, rudder stick goes in.
So both out or both in, simple as that, but this only works from upright, not from inverted, BE WARNED!!!!!!!!! HA HA.
