Will the plane want to fall over on the canopy or when it locks in it will pretty much stay there? |

Not sure of your 3D experience, but As you pull the plane into a vertical position, you want to hold the plane steady slowly adding or touching "UP" elevator. When the plane get to the right vertical position, it will start TR'n, but it will not be a hands off thing. The plane will constantly need small inputs to hold the vertical as the plane rotates. We have found that the plane will require an "Up ele. and right rudder input as the bottom of the plane starts to show itself to you. I don't undrstand whay, but you will be adding these inputs each time the bottom comes around. And thid this goes with all the other small inputs to keep the plane vertical. Some of the inputs can be aggessive and others minor. You have to give the plane what it wants.
There will be times when the plane will get into a perfect TR and will require very minimal inputs, but this is rare and depends on your inputs. I use plenty of Expo on all my surface when learning, cause I was always over controling the plane. It does take getting use to to keep in control. I also tell my guys I teach, that when you are starting to get out of shape, that more throttle should be the first input and you want to keep the nose pointed up.
