RE: Slow Rolls
 

ORIGINAL: dick Hanson

guys who grew up on the old pattern flying can give you some good help
- we used to practice flying it from horizon to horizon as far as you could see the thing
Here is my new IMAC plane -and it really does nice slow rolls
Dick...as far as I know (I may be mistaken), the side force generator is not allowed in any class above Sportsman in IMAC, since the "full-scale brothers" have not used them in competition as yet.

At the Don Lowe Masters over this week, Mark Leseberg had side force generators on his Dalton Extra 300 & they were not allowed in the contest. They had to be dismantled. However, at the end of the contest, Mark did a demo & the airplane was noticeably more stable in the knife-edge position & tracked very well. I think you will see these on the market very shortly from Horizon Hobbies.

RE: Slow Rolls
 
You must master inverted flight and then start to first slow your rolls down with a slight arc. then as you grow more proficient start entering level from one direction using rudder to keep your nose from pitching down.basically, perfect the first half and then move on to the last half. Thats how I did it and I have been doing them for years with everything from extras to cubs!
