Re: Inverted Harrier Kicking my Butt!!
I know what mith is saying. In retrospect barely addmaybe 35% on down elevator, and remember that ur alerions are opposite as is your rudder controls when you are upside down. Don't do to low, or you might get in a sticky situation and don't do to high or your plan is going to experience an updraft, and will cause it to wingrock.

Re: Inverted Harrier Kicking my Butt!!
Ailerons aren't opposite inverted.
Keep practicing, flying inverted is way more fun than upright. I would recomend starting high like 100-150', kill the throttle, pin down elavator and let 'er fall down to you while managing the throttle for rate of descent. If you can get on a sim, practice there. |

Re: Inverted Harrier Kicking my Butt!!
Practice inverted harriers coming at yourself. For rudder inputs, think of it as you are in a hover. By coming at yourself inverted high alpha, the view is almost as if you are hovering. It will get you the basics of steering around in inverted harrier. Easy inputs are key as over controlling can lead you to dip a wing. Concentrate on the keeping the wings level with the ailerons and steering with rudder only. Steering with the ailerons is not a good idea in high alpha as it can lead to stalling a wingtip which at low altitudes can be disasterous.

Re: Inverted Harrier Kicking my Butt!!
when i fly inverted harrier to me is easier then right side up,, this being if the plane is coming toward you you are looking up at the top of the plane, thus making your rudder inputs the same as if you where standing behind the plane in level flight.. hope that makes sense... what kind of problem are you having?
