RE: rudder 'cheat' on snaps?

Great, you have a JR 10X.

This makes setting up a snap mode a piece of cake.

I run sequence rates, F/mode 0 with low aileron and elevator rates but use 100% rudder travel with about 80% expo on rudder depending on aircraft for stall turns.

F/mode 1 for spins and snaps. A bit more aileron and elevator with the rudder travel backed off. You will need to play around with these rates to suit your airplane.

I also pull elevator 1st, then apply aileron and rudder while unloading elevator.

Hope this helps

RE: rudder 'cheat' on snaps?
 

Interesting idea Alan, thanks. I am new (very!) to the 10X, and I had not thought of some of these new programming features that I now have available... I will certainly try some of them - flight modes always interested me, to be able to NOT switch 3 times (different switches I mean) to go to high rates for 3D, but with the new TX, multiple flight modes - lots of ideas come to mind..

Cheers,
Bob

The guy who said the plane is not flying on the wing on a upline has no clue!

RE: rudder 'cheat' on snaps?
 

We must be very careful how we describe "flying" on the wing. Please be courteous and avoid accusing people of not "having a clue," we can all learn something about aerodynamics, that is for sure!

For sure, the wing is not providing differential lift while flying in a perfect upline. The pressure is the same on either side of the wing if the plane is going straight up, and there is NO WIND.

I think this topic has surpassed the intent of the orginal question and may have become useless at this point. I don't like to post things in futility, but it seems there is some interest still out there.:eek:
