Sight unseen, If you're having problems keeping the HR's smooth, consider backing off elevator throw on high rates... Helped me a TON!

Pale Rider · 08-09-2006, 07:07 AM

Definitely right about reducing the throws..I started off trying with my 3d rates..no way I was keeping up with that..I tweaked my low rates and removed almost all of the expo and they intstantly got smoother and more controllable..I got no issues going in a circle so I just need to practice timing when the plane is inverted/upright..

Flatlandman · 08-09-2006, 07:21 AM

Backing off the rates is a crutch use it to learn but learn to moderate your stick inputs so its easy to transition to other moves that require more surface travel.

Pale Rider · 08-09-2006, 07:33 AM

Yea I know what you mean..When I first started, my elevator was 70 deg

Now I reduced it down to 45-50 and its much better

Flatlandman · 08-09-2006, 07:54 AM

oh yea by the way i set my planes for 50 degrees up and down for 3d rates on the ele and 45 on the rudder i beleive any more is wasted travel.

JoeAirPort · 08-09-2006, 08:59 AM

Concentrate on keeping the plane going straight and just let your thumbs figure it out. That's what I do, it all comes down to practice. And a sim is a great way to do it so you don't look look like $hit at the field.

Don't be discouraged if you just can't seem to get it too. Because one day, I assure your brain clicks and your thumbs are right on.

P.S. I've been on the simulator for about 100-200 minutes per-day 7 days a week, and I still have trouble switching roll directions.( I roll right better than left).

I can't say I do 100-200 minutes per day but I too still need to improve and have troubles rolling left. Right is easier for some reason (sticks are easier to operate).

rcfs · 10-17-2006, 03:47 PM

The area most people have trouble with is not using as much "other" rudder and/or elevator. Prob.: Large right rudder, little left rudder. Or, Large pull, less push. = deviating from the line. You'll need to use the same (large) amounts in BOTH directions.

p sme · 10-17-2006, 05:58 PM

hmmm, i like roling left better because it keeps my hands closer together and i prefer "pushing" the stick(left ail) to "pulling" the stick (rt ail)

p sme · 10-17-2006, 06:01 PM

also, practicing getting the inputs exactly rythmic with the transmitter when the plane is not flying is how i taught myself to keep things consistent
