High speed roll
Hi folks,
I would like to know when Joe or Gabriel doing the high speed rolling, did they use only the elevator or also with the rudder control? I tried couple times in the past few months and can't seem to get a perfect roll with just the elevator control at high speed, not to mention changing direction like Gabriel passing his famous Altuz gap at 2011 Joe Nall. Appreciate for your input. Jack

Hi Jack. Both elevator and rudder are used. Very small inputs, but they are both used. Check Gaby out in this video at 5:25...

If you watch BoneDoc's 3D clinic "The Pop Top" video he does some fast rolls and you can see the inputs he uses in the radio overlay. I love that overlay he does on his clinics.

Make sure you have your elevator and rudder on low rates. Otherwise it will be tough to keep smooth.

faster speed doesn't always mean faster roll
Just want to share that with gasser, if you try to go full throttle at high speed roll, the rolling speed is significant slower than mid-speed roll, no matter which direction you roll, not sure about electric though.

I have noticed that what you said is true ON SOME airplanes, but in a high-alpha setting. Not at high speeds. |

Yeah, that really shouldn't present itself as an issue. Torque from the engine/prop should be a very low factor compared to the torque imparted by the ailerons/wing. With good torque and proper setup, I don't notice any difference in roll-rate between right and left at higher speeds. Even at low speeds and high-alpha, I rarely notice this.
