RE: ENGINE DOWN AND RIGHT THRUST
HI THANK YOU to all who replied to my question i am a sport flyer and do not yet do any 3D stuff myself my planes do fly on rails and go right were i want them to at all throttle settings-i do a clean loop with no control inputsas long as i am square at the start of the loop-and into the wind ( 98 % of the time )
part of the reason i am asking the questions i am is-at my field i am now in contact and discussion with a gentileman who is very accomplished -in flying pattern -he has traveled the pattern circut for 17 years he flys his own design and has become one of the flight trainners at my field
he has told me that he sets his wing 1/2 degree positiveengine 3 degrees down and 2 degrees rightjust as DAVE BATHE explaned he does in a post above- this is the first time this set up was suggested to me( although a friend who is responsible for desgning 3 of the 3D manuvers used todaytold me to put in down thrust so the plane flys inverted with a little down elevatoryou then have the balance right ) i do realize that each plane is set up a bit different-but this is a new and very interesting subject to me that i have never tried -and having my RC planes fly as well as i can is one of my lifes passions -after 20 years of building and flying these trimming adjustments seem to me to be those very fine adjustments that can add the icing on the cake to a plane that is already flying very well i will be making these adjustments to one of airframes in the near future and see were it may take me The pictures below are of my 60 ULTRASPORT kit with an OS 91FX glo engineall contols surfaces were centered on the first flight THANKS AGAIN ENJOY REGARDS TONY
