Another great teaching video. Keep them coming Josh and thanks.

Did a few today... I want to try a snap into hover in front of me, but need to barrow a plane first! Any takers!!

Ohh..ohh..You can borrow mine! Let me just grab my camera!

Marvelous!!

Hey nice work Josh. Coincidently I have been wanting to do this manuever recently. Now that I have watched your video I have a good idea how to. I noticed on two of your manuevers you seem to go to almost full "right" rudder near the end of the snap (momentarily). It looks like a key part of the manuever. Is this to get it to stop snapping to setup for the hover? Am I seeing this correctly?

I was probably trying to compensate for the left rudder I use to start the snap. Since you're in a deep stall, your recovery is not going to be as crisp as a regular snap.

In a regular snap, stopping the stick movements usually will stop the snap. In a deep snap like you'd use for the snap to hover maneuver, you'd almost have to pulse the throttle along with adding a little opposite rudder to correct.

It's one of those things that you'd have to try and play around with in order to get it right. It's going to be a little different with different aircraft as well.

Josh-
Thanks again to you and for your families efforts to advance our hobby!
A couple of us will be at our field with the laptop for review of your video as we learn it.
I have been hoping to get this one down.
Awesome job!!

Awesome Joe. When you guys practice this, try shooting a video if you have a cameraman (ie fellow flyer) around. I'd love to see how you guys are progressing. Also if there are any issues that I haven't raise, please post it so we can clarify the subject.

... just remember to be several mistakes high on the first couple .

Oh he tells me this now! I was lucky it was fine!

Sounds good - I'll see if I can arrange!
Thanks,
Joe

Just wanted to add my thanks for a great effort on helping the little people. Awsome video and it was great to see it slowed down. Also tell the wife thanks, it's appreciated.

It will be nice if FG can compile all these 3D training videos into a special archive so that it's easy to find all of them in one place

I agree!!

Whoooooooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!

I just got back from flying and I got that maneuver down to perfection! Thanks again for that lesson. I look forward to the next one.

Sweet! Congrats!

As for now, I have the master list on RCG

If FG wants to make another provision for the master list, I'd be more than happy to do so.
