Re: BoneDoc's 3D Clinic: Hovering 101 - Finding Your Rhythm
Someone gave me hint for when the plane turns belly in....
for the brief second your brain isnt sure which way to move the rudder stick.... let your eyes look down to the tail itself and point the rudder stick the way you want the tail to go..... then , as it torques around revert your brain back to the old tried and true orientation. This technique has saved many a ooops for me on my foamies. |

Re: BoneDoc's 3D Clinic: Hovering 101 - Finding Your Rhythm
Thanks for the kind words guys.
The reason why I recommended hovering with belly into the wind first is because that will take the same stick input as an upright harrier, which most of us have a better chance of doing naturally. Once you get better with your inverted harrier, you can try hovering with the canopy into the wind. Just as inverted harrier tends to be more stable than upright harrier, the same is true for "inverted" hovering. But the stick input will feel backwards though until your inverted harrier becomes more natural. As for hovering belly in, if you can harrier toward yourself, you've got the starting point for hovering belly in. What you need to do is to consciously increase your AOA when you're doing the harrier. The higher the AOA, the more rudder input you're going to have to put in, which in turn, will make the stick movement needed for hovering belly in (as well as doing Torque rolling) more intuitive.

As for different altitude, at higher altitude, everything does speed up a tad, but nothing that's not unmanageable. If you fly electric, just prop up to compensate for the thinner air. For gassers.... get a bigger engine . |

Other folks have made great suggestions already here. But here's one more tip that can possibly help. When you're learning torque rolling, make sure that you STAY on POWER. If anything, it's better to have the plane rise a bit as you're doing your TR. Once you get better, then you can work on keeping the altitude level. The other tip is to focus ONLY on the ATTITUDE of the plane (ie. pointing straight vertical). Let it drift if it needs be. |

Expo again is a personal choice, but here's how you tune your expo. It's largely determined by how much your fingers prefer to move around. Bigger movements, bigger expo, smaller movements, smaller expo. Regardless though, here's how you tune your expo: 1. If you find that you're behind and having to catch up in your stick movements, or if the plane's response to your stick movements feel sluggish, this tells me that your control surface is not moving as fast for the distance your fingers are moving.... DECREASE your expo. (you could also try speeding up your rhythm to see if this cures it as well) 2. If however, you look like you're over controlling, and your plane behaves "wildly," try INCREASING your expo. 3. When making changes to your expo, try changing by 10% at a time. That way, you can tell whether or not the changes are working for you. From there, fine tune until you get just the right expo for you. As for my own setup, here's what I run when I had my DX7 Ailerons: 45% (I leave it on high rates most of the time) Elevator: 30% low, 69-65% high (low for "precision" / KE stuff, high for high alpha stuff) Rudder: 75% Since switching to Aurora 9, I'm having to add about 10% more expo. Whether that's due to the radio feeling more "connected", or just a different expo algorithm, I'm not sure. |

Good Job Doc. Are you wearing rubber gloves in the snow video?
