None of our aircraft will tumble like a aerobatic aircraft. The design and power to weight are too different.

The RV is well suited for it though

I look forward to your film of a tumbling RV8.  :D

Did you see my P-47 film? It's in the films forum.  :joystick:

I think the entry angle may be critical for tumbling given our power to weight. I'll try the RV8 again when I get home.

If I have my knowledge correct a lomcovak is a tumble whilst climbing nearly vertical, is that correct?



I like Art Scholl's description:  Start from a 45 degree inverted climb then put the stick and rudder in opposite corners.  Wait until you see something you recognize (usually an inverted spin) and recover.

What could *possibly* go wrong?

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Nothing superb but it was fun to make, especially the flying

Nice!  :aok

Well, I'd say the AH flight model nails it . . . again!

Nice flying Bat. I like the paint job and music.  :aok

I didn't see any rotation around the pitch axis. I can do a slow rotation with the RV8 like the opening of the P-47M video but that's not a tumble. I tried the K4 too but no luck.  :joystick:

Cheers! That skin was thanks to Cactus. I think there was definitely some pitch axis rotation but it is masked by the high speed roll motion. Certainly you are right that I found it impossible to do the purely pitch axis flipping I've seen in modern acrobatics. I'm glad you inspired me to edit again, I have just finished a little film I've been planning for about three years, it's going to be a little bit mind blowing to most of us I believe   :devil

I'll post a link in the films forum in about 10 mins  :x I'm excited

I think Mace mentioned that he played with Lomcovaks and you can't get the pitch axis rotation decoupled from the torque roll. Or something like that.  :D

Maybe if we're good Hitech will model a Zlin or a Pitts for the TA.  :pray

Btw did you see this RV8 video?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulpdOHcCiNE

Hmmm, that RV looks amazingly familiar, I guess waffle does have certain perks after being cherry picked out of the arena to build the game for us :D
