Re: Rolling Harrier help
I'am about to try and do a rolling harrier; though waiting for the wind to die down and have some stick time. Haven't had a flight for ages. Can't wait.
To do a rolling harrier you need to push down and up in at the correct timing. When the model is inverted push down and when the model is up the right way pull up in. While putting in the inputs blip the throttle to maintain airspeed to prevent from falling out and pilling into the floor. Remember, first time practise high up so if it goes wrong, you can always get out of it safely. Good luck Hope this info was handy! |

Re: Rolling Harrier help
I've found that many planes require almost no throttle blipping to perform a proper RH.
BTW, for me the only way to learn was practice, practice and more practice. The easiest way was to practice with rudder/aileron only (yes, it's possible!) and then elevator/aileron only, then put it all together. One day it finally all clicked Interestingly, the best plane I've ever had for rolling harriers was a low-swept-wing Ultra Stick scratchbuilt a friend made for me. It was better than any purpose-built 3D plane I have ever flown! |

Lol. Thanks. I'd love to see the video. My rolling ability is severely lacking, however I have just about gotten to where I can make it go straight or turn it at will.

In my opinion, the rolling maneuvers are amongst the hardest. I always admire he guys that seem to do it effortlessly.

I am by no means an expert, I've been working on the rolling Harrier myself. I realized the reason I had a strong tendency to turn to the left while rolling right was because I was putting in the controls too early. Four example I was giving left rudder too early before the plane was in knife edge, I gave down elevator to early before the plane was inverted. I realized I was doing this for every surface direction and as a result the plane was turning left. I was able to correct this by concentrating on the first input which is left rudder when you are rolling to the right. I concentrated on having the input symmetrical about the knife edge. Once I was able to do this it seemed as though all the other inputs where delayed the same amount and as a result I was able to go straight down the runway. I have been spending about 20 minutes a day on the simulator throughout this winter to get to this point. When I got to the field and tried it in real life I found that I could still go straight down the runway.
Hope this is of some help. |

There is no substitute for stick time if u have an indoor foamy fly 30 or 40 packs every night i would go park under a street light and fly every night it wasnt raining. If its windy head into the wind and keep rollin it wont go anywhere but u will be doing a rolling harrier
