Im supprised how much time you spend looking forward in any verticle wrather than flying most stuff off your wing?
Also I didn't see any over the top roll check to the horizon?
It is also obvious you have put a lot of time into straight aliron rolls, was cool how I could see your stick and rudder inputs based on the head movment. Have you ever practiced rolling circles yet?
Hey HT,
I set the vertical, with a quick look left and then right. Then I watch the wing tips with my periperial vision and just kind of feel the upline in my back. I didn't look right with the camera, cause I didn't think it wouldn't look as good on the film. I think that is why alot of my up lines were a bit negative. Your right if you mean the down lines. I need to look left and set the down line, one of my bad habbits I have to break
.
Over top roll check? I assume you mean the outside loop. Normal loop I do, but I have only done a handful of outside loops so I am just starting to clean them up and get a sense of what inputs I need over the top. Seeing the video has helped me see what is going wrong and when. I also have to get more speed for the outside loop, cause she gets real slow over the top and loose as you can see in the vid.
I have to thank, you and the other flight sims for the aileron rolls. I don't work them much, I just started doing the hesitation rolls and now I see they look cool on video so I have to do more of them. The hardest part for them was getting used to that big rudder. Believe it or not that was only my second 8 point roll ever lol.
I love rolling circles. I actually have some good footage from the same run of an inside rolling circle and an outside rolling circle. They were the first maneuvers I wanted to learn after I got the pitts. I don't know what mine look like from the ground, but I am getting at least 4 rolls for every full circle. It's amazing how much oil they push out too
.
I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn.
Dang wish you were closer, would fly up and swap rides.
Yeah rgr that. I was thinking the same thing after your posts last week, with the Fighters and the bird hit. I would love to check out your RV.
If I ever get to nationals I plan on stopping in for sure.
