Default Re: 0 of 8 Explained...

Biff, congrats on the accomplishment. It is a feeling that can not be explained. As a teaser, following is a sample (only part mind you) of the new move being unveiled this fall.

Start straight and level upright. Left to right. 1/2 roll to inverted. Start the 0 of 16, when your half way thru, do 0 snaps of a 2 roll snapper, exit inverted. Begin 270 deg rolling circle, 0 rolls of course, ending with the perfect approach to an inverted 0 of 8 corss box. Rudder and the exit at the end are the real test to a man's flying ability.

MY GOD!!!!! I thought I was ahead of the game here. All the planning and preperation I have for the big meets aren't quite as original as I thought. Do you think it presumptuous to name the roller I'm presently doing after me?

Let's give props where they are deserved, Innovator is the God Father of the 0 of 8. It's all spin off's of your cutting edge thought that made this new way of flying possible. Even if I get credit for the down humpty cross box 0 of 8 from invert and the 0 roll out 0 roll in 0 roll out 0 roll in roller, let it be known Innovator is the true inventor of the manuever!!

I take my 10 gallon hat off to you sir!

Wow you guys are nuts, pulling of crazy stuff like that. I have only dreamed of seeing a 0 of 8 roll or 0 turn negative spin.

Its just pure madness!!

Well since we're all throwing out cutting edge stuff here's one for ya!!! For my freestyle routine I'm working on POST-POST-STALLED FLIGHT!!!! It's a reall bear to do! I taxi the plane to show center, then enter my POST-POST-STALLED CONDITION!!! The plane isn't actually flying on the wing, it's all about thrust vectoring. My experimentation has revealed you can use no more than 200 RPM's to be in true POST-POST-STALLED CONDITION!!! Any more than that and you're out of the envelope. Obviously special equipment is used for this cutting edge type of flight. I've found that for a 40% plane weighing 39.9 pounds, the best equipment is a Hacker B20 motor, 10 amp ESC and an APC 6.8X1.1 propeller. MAKE SURE NO MORE THAN 200 RPM's!!!!

It's truly more of an art than science at this point, but it's TRULY BADASS!!!!

(ONLY trained,experienced pilots should attempt my ground breaking realm of flight!!)

Here's something to chew on. With the flying styles noted above, my 0 of whatevers to the next 0 of whatever, I think I can successfully negotiate the unlimited sequence by simply taking off and landing. Biff I think were on to something here.

Next up, freestyle.

Innovator, perhaps we should pool our efforts? I think we need to look at what we can offer modeling first. If fame and glory come,that's okay but we should look at pushing the current envelope as our reward. I think between your out of the box thought in sequences and my cutting edge work with post-post-stalled freestyle flight, we can change how people fly. That's reward enough for me bro.

That reminded me of something that I thought was very funny....

I went and met up with Wayne at an IMAC just to hang out and enjoy the company....he then tried talking me into participating in it and I told him that I wasn't interested....He made a comment about in Basic there were only two people signed up....so I thought about it and still passed....then I thought about it some more and realised that Wayne was the only one signed up in Unlimited..so I posed the question to Wayne...."Why would I want to sign up in Basic and get Third when I can do Unlimited (Take off , fly the pattern and land) and get second. A second in Unlimited is much better than third in Basic I always say...LOL

Sorry, back to the scheduled 0 of 360 maneuver........

Well my work with ULTRA LOW ALPHA FLIGHT is finished. I thought I had it figured out while flying 3 mistakes high. Got over-confidential and brought her in at about 5 feet and dumped her over,,,, Hey Wayne, with all the offers you've gotten, can I borrow 5 planes?

Okay guys, I have a demo to fly next weekend (June 3rd) and could really put some of these cutting edge maneuvers to work for me. Especially since I am not 100% sure that the plane will be finished. So if I read correctly, I should be able to take the power system out of my flat out and rig it up to the Yak and come up with a steller performance? Since the demo is for the general public and not "r/c literate" individuals, do you think that it will just blow them away or will they really get the technical mastery that has gone into this new type of 0 flight?

We have not released this video in fear of the usual copy cats and nay sayers...
We think its time now though.

I now give you the "0 of 8"
Also, watch the end for set up tips from Innovator.
