Question on rolling harriers

[ScottZ]

That is the best trim scheme I have ever seen! Only thing, when you hover does I freak you out having the plane staring back at you?

Hey guys,

I have been doing rolling harriers for 2 months now and I can almost nail it, the only problem I have is turning the plane in the direction that I want. Sometimes I do straight rolling harrier and sometimes in circle but yet I can't do that on purpose meaning I can't turn it to clock wise or counter clockwise intentionally, what am I supposed to do to take control of that? Some tell me that straight rolling harrier that I do most of the time is harder but for me is not as hard as turning it in the direction that I want. Any inputs much appreciated it.

I went through the same thing..... you just have to keep doing it and eventually it comes. Also when I roll straight im barely using rudder if that helps and when you turn in to the roll its alot harder so practice rolling left and turning right or vice versa

turning in the rolling harrier is just a matter of speed of input

Slow on the input plane turns one direction, early on the input plane turns the other direction with the sweet spot in the middle for a strait roller. With practice you will master the control you need to go both directions with both left and right roll.

To control the direction of your rolling harriers, alot of people choice to correct direction with elevator only. I use elevator as well, but I also ajust the timing of the rudder. By changing whether you lead in with the rudder early, or hang on the rudder just a little longer, you can get nice smooth circles and changes of direction. It is possibly to steer the rolling harriers on rudder along, but it takes a bit more practice.

Thanks Guys, I will try it this Saturday.
