Question on rolling harriers

[heydick]

Why does the last half of my high alpha rolls snap? Am I holding too much rudder imput or eleavator imput or am I too early or late? Throttle management? I just don't know. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Dook,

Off topic but that plane in your avatar is yours or one you had? And do you have a good size picture of it as that scheme is way too good not to be copied in some aspects.

Sounds like too much Rudder and Maybe that the plane is not fully stalled while rolling.
Try more Elev and less rudder.

They key is to keep the plane stalled.

Its not the speed of the plane that will help him keep it stalled, its the amount of elevator travel he uses when the plane is upright and inverted.

He'll find that once the planes stays stalled, the amount of rudder at the 90's will be far less than what he was probably using before.
(At least I did when I finally figured out how to do it)

Thanks guys that make perfect sense. Kiwi that's a Stevens Aero Edge 540 I built a few months back. Heres some other pics.

I'm just begining to figure it out! I see what you mean. I just thought he may have been carrying to much airspeed at the beginning of the harrier/roll.
