One thing to be sure of though: BE ABSOLUTELY SURE WHEN YOU PULL VERTICAL, THAT YOUR WINGS ARE LEVEL BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PULL. EVEN IF YOUR WINGS ARE OFF 1º WHEN YOU PULL, YOU WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR UPLINE BY SEVERAL DEGREES.

Hey Seth I usually do up line and bump my rudder trim till the plane flys uplines straight.Then do a throttle to rudder mix on a 7 point mix for three quarters to low throttle to center left.I usually end up with 3 degs right at full throttle and 3 degs left a low throttle.I found when I started doing inverted harriers with you're trim setups the plane would yaw alot.Now it tracks straigh no matter the atitude.Do you have to hold left rudder when doing harriers and high alfa stuff?
