A lot of people I've heard say inverted is easier because the plane has less tendency to wing-rock, because the vertical stab is more exposed to airflow. I personally don't find either really easier or harder... I stay in upright more often though, it's easier to land on the wheels if the engine quits!

with my cap(my 80 inch noe) it des the best upright harrier ive seen because of the high mounted stab and low monuted wing. when i go inverted its probably just me but if you had too much rudder to turn it will go into an auto flatspin.

I also find it to be more stable in an inverted harrier

I fly harriers both ways, but for me inverted is a little bit more stable with most planes.

I have not had a plane yet that was not more stable in an iverted harrier. I would rather do harriers inverted, they just handle better. I think this is because the rudder is getting better air.

My AW 42% Ulti was an upright harrier trainer....
Inverted took a bit of getting figured out... but upright was super easy....
Every other plane I ever had was easier inverted.

Default Re: whats easier

inverted are just plane more fun to me. The inverted was harder at the start due to the backwards rudder but now its all instinct anyways

For me it all depends on the airframes, and size of the bird.
