I am flying a 27% Extra 300 with a DA-85 Engine and having the following problem. I am starting to try a littel more extreme manuvers as harrier, the wall etc... but.... alevator is untouchable, as soon as I try a hard elevator manuver, the plane snaprolls to the right violently. As soon as it stalls, the same thing. CG is Centerd
What could I be? Is this normal?
What test could I make, or is it just inexperince and neet to practice to control this behavior?
Inexperience is apppears to be the real issue -at the moment.
The various hints already given all apply
Before you get even more frustrated, try this:
borrow or buy a good 32 ounce foamy- something with really high power and about 400 squares.
Practice the approaches to the harrier and the wall and any of the other abrupt flailing stuff currently popular.
basically the power is always chopped as elevater is slammed in.
NOW -be ready with rudder -NOT THE AILERONS!
All of the turns and snaps are due to the model yawing as the wing stalls
You can't trim a perfect hands off 3D flail and wail setup
You have to be ready for anything and that anything is usually a low wing and the fix AIN"T in the wing
WHY?
because it's thu flying at the moment so the only working controls are rudder and elevator
practice you will see what I mean.
You will get it
everyone does
The foamie just makes it less painfull if you goof.
One more thing
you have to balance the model back till it is really nuetral (and can be rotated easily in -say an outside loop with very little power
this is about 33% of ANY aerobatic wing setup -
