| Re: How do YOU do your KE spins?
I am a complete hack when it comes to it,,,,,but, I start out tight endover tailflipping, then 1/4 roll it into a KE spin, it starts to fall right on tube while rotating and actually accellerating in the flip-now spin. It would be cool to see a proper entry in a video, with the stick movements. |

I start straight up, then rudder over to one side (lets say the right side) Then when the bird levels out, cut the power and go to full left rudder. Give it some gas. Then add full down elevator to enter the spin. All of this takes at most a few seconds. Use the ailerons to keep the wings vertical. If you really want it to be impressive give it full throttle to really get it spinning.  I'll try to get a video this weekend so you can see what I mean. |

| Re: How do YOU do your KE spins?
I start with a vert upline. Cut the throttle, wait until the nose is just about to drop. As you feel it going jam full throttle full down elevator and full left rudder. Once it starts coming down I bring out some of the throttle (sometimes  ) and if I need to bring the aileron back to centre as it needs it. Sometimes I end up with opposite aileron sometimes it stays at full. It all depends on the entry.Works for me. All my planes are a little different in how it happens too.

I do the same, straight up, rudder over to knife edge. Then add rudder to maintain the knife and jam full 3D down elevator and at least half throttle. My Edge 540 will turn about 3 revs a second - sweet - After a few good spins, be sure to check your engine mounting bolts as the engine will try to come loose!!! |

cedarbat, Well that has got to be the absolute best training vid I have ever seen in this hobby. What or where is the source info for this tutorial? Thanks for the video!! Guess I better start picking out a new plane as my current EXTRAs' future has just been elevated to "real iffy".
