RE: HOW-To..3D maneuvers

What gnat's patutte? This is a public forum, I didn't want to use the A word. ZDZ 100 sounds good, great throttle response. As you know, that is essential for hovering/torque rolls. What does your...

RE: HOW-To..3D maneuvers

It's been a long time ago, 20 yrs. or so. I think they were JR4721s or perhaps a Futaba 131s? ...I'm sure they were ball bearing servos. They weren't cheap servos, just had plastic gears. I do know...

RE: HOW-To..3D maneuvers

As far as torque rolls go, I agree. Try balancing a baseball bat in the palm of your hand with the barrel (heavy) end up. Not all that hard. Now turn the bat over with the handle end up and try to...
