Flat Spins on G2
 

Can you do flat spins on G2? I don't seem to be able to do them.

Although I am no 3D master, I myself have tried to flat spin on G2 and couldn't do it either.

According to what I've heard, G2 is not capable of performing many 3D maneuvers. I have been able to do a few things on there like hovering but only with specially modified planes.

Are flat spins the only thing that you have tried to do on there that didn't work?

I can hover somewhat on G2. I can do it all day at the field. I usually try new maneuvers on G2 before I try them at the field, and the flat spin is one that I haven't done on a real plane. I've also tried other 3D stuff like water falls and harriers on G2 with no luck.

I can frequently get the AT6 to do an inverted flat spin where the plane is rotating on it's central axis point just like in real life......not just flying in a tight circle. You have to snap it into a very rapid spin with lots of throttle, then slowly bring back the throttle and slowly cross control.

There seemed to be another plane that flap spun, but I have so many different ones loaded in my computer I don't remember which one.

BTW, I am getting some models to actually hover, but when they start to go into a torque roll, I loose it, cuz my brain can't shift gears that fast, yet.

Some can do a fairly decent water fall, high alpha knife edge, etc.

G2 has some 3D capability if the planes are set up right, but not all planes can do it all.

I tried on my buddies g2 and couldnt do it..I have AFP and can do them great on it!!

GarySS, did you get a stock AT-6 Texan to do an inverted flat spin or was it modified?

Also, APF will let you do 3D maneuvers on it; or at least they have advertised that it will.

I've got some videos of flat spinning on the front page of aeroflypro.com

Scroll down a little and watch the Maarten De Moor videos. He does lots of spins and 3D that's pretty amazing.

Well, after several months of not using the AT6, I have to admit that it doesn't do a flat spin very well. It does rotate around it's central axis, but the spiral is not very flat and I can't cross control more than say 25% before it flops out. Bummer, I thought it was better than that.

I have increased the size to about 96 inch wing span, set the CG at negative .3 inches, and am using a Supertiger 4500 engine. Oh well,........

That's about all I can get out of the Sukhoi 3D.
