Stryker Flight Tips & Tricks?
 

Went flying after work tonight and figured out how to land easier with my stryker. Besides flairing to slow down, I flipped my dual rates on after I slowed a bit which allowed me a little more authority over the plane at those low speeds to help me make a belly landing vs a skid. Before I was landing at regular rates and had a hard time keeping the nose up and landing flat at a slow speed.

Only really know how to flip the dual rates on and do some barrel rolls for tricks or maybe half cubans.

Anyone else got any tricks or tips for flyin their stryker? [8D]

In inverted fight I would put full down trim and the plane would fly inverted itself. Sometimes I would fly inverted the whole time.

I like to come in hard and fast.Just before it gets to me I pull back hard and loose all the air under the plane.Plane just falls to the ground.Makes for a perfect easy landing.Looks like you dropped it from about 2 feet.I also like doing barrel rolls as I climb.I got a 7x6 SF prop to test out tomorrow at the bluffs.

How do you stop the plane from climbing when you pull back? Or do you pull back so hard that the plane goes instantly vertical and the body is pretty much a wall against the air to slow it down?
Do you pull back to get your nose up and then just roll? When I do barrel rolls my nose loses a little altitude with each roll.

Feed in some down elevator as the plane is inverted during your rolls to maintain altitude.

The plane actually does pretty nice inverted harriers and elevators! Really it does!

Seems the rudder isn't very responsive whenever I try to give input though!;):D;)
