Default How did He do That?

while there is alot of great info here, I can't seem to find how to do basic manuveres or exactly what they are. I would like to see something like:

Loop)
1. Begin with straight level flight.
2. Apply full throttle and full up elev.
3. at the apex of loop decrease throttle.

If you guys are bored and like to type please answer the basics or point me to a place where they are answered.


BTW: I have learned the "Ground Loop" very well. Can be performed at 0-200 ft.

You apply step two with some planes and you will get a snap and possible a spin or two instead of the loop you were expecting

That's odd. I did that with my GP Extra300s all the the time and it'd never snap. Although, it does snap consistently when I do that after a crash that resulted in a warpped wing. That's when I learned that a set of straight wing is important in aerobatics!

Mayby I should have been a little more specific? I just got a slow stick and can keep it i the air.....would like to do loops and figure best way out of inverted flight when I botch it.... Does a nice wing side landing though.. How does a plane with rudder only do rolls?

slowly!!!!

i doubt if a slow stick will fly inverted, it has a heavily undercambered wing section, dihedral, and not enough roll authority from the rudder to keep it there once you get it inverted and it tries to 'fall off' due to the dihedral.

learn to fly on the slowstick first and get a model with aerobatic capabilites second.

the slowsticak will loop following a slight dive to build up speed, whether those foam wings will snap or not is anyones guess!!!

Well, a slow stick will fly inverted. This from an outside loop. From straight level flight, flies inverted OK but if you let it get over a liitle it is a dog to handle. Can only pull out after a dive so stay high.
