Just a little curious can anyone perform a correct hammerhead? I cant pull it off. I was told by a few people that AH flight model wont allow it to be done correctly...If u can post a film and give some pointers....The closest I can come is while flying a hog.!!S!! and good luk...
-
I believe I also read that the flight model will not allow it.
There's one or two planes in the game where it IS possible through some quirk in the flight model. I don't remember what plane(s) they were though.
I'm pretty sure I read this a few months ago...one of the pros will chime in I'm sure.
-
i seen a post of some guy doing it in a 38
-
I'd like to know the plane/planes that it is doable in. I have tried several times with no luck. I can get a 38 to do a pretty good vertical flat turn but it is not a real hammerhead...
-
I know I have done them in the RV, P51,SPIT, KI,A6M5, not sure I have had any It could not be done, some are much more difficult than others.
Also can you describe exactly what you think a Hammer head is?
-
I have never succeed to do hammerhead in 109, tryed 100`s of time, but no way to do it in AH/ WB.
What i mean as hammerhead is same as todays aerobatics.
Have done it in RL: c150 :D,Eagle, Pitts and Rv4
-
have done them in mosquito many times, some more pretty than others. other planes i have done loose and tight hammers in are the p38, f4uD, P47D40 and spitV. maybe some more. it is all in the throttle work and torque management, plus you must initiate the start of the flip a fraction before you reach critical stall speed or you are more likely to half roll and pull some sort of wingover.

Hammerhead Maneuver
http://www.fightercombat.com/clips/hammerhead_high.wmv
-
I've never been in a plane that made a hammerhead, but a someone who was says they just don't happen in AH as they should. As far as I understand it, a hammerhead is flipping around a yaw axis at the top of a vertical, with the axis somewhere between the nose and tail of the airplane.
I can do it in the game, but it's pretty slow compared to almost every hammerhead I've seen on video, although those real planes are probably a lot lighter than the fighters in AH.
The most efficient hammerhead in AH, in my experience, is one where the stall horn never sounds.
-
I have done it once in a 38 almost exactly like the video.
ONCE......never could do it again.
Strip
-
Hehe, I think a 38 might just be able to do a 360+180 hammerhead :P
-
;)
-
used to do those in 190s quite a bit but it seems the FM was changed awhile back... not really a complaint since they do turn better than they used to.
-
I was riding with Nath as a gunner when he did a nice hammerhead in a B17. It was bad azz.
-
If anyone could post some AH II film on how they did it, it would be great. I've tried, and they are sort of hammerheads, not pretty to look at; however, I may be doing them wrong.

going into verticle using aileron and rudder to keep perfect verticle line...Maybe a little throttle control....actually ur suppose to chop throttle then when ur bout to stall full throttle.Keeping ur plane with aileron and rudder in the same verticle line.Then ur plane is suppose to wing over cartwheel directly back down same path within a planes length...This is what a hammerhead is its not actually a stall..Or tail slide..I can do it in the rv 8 also...but not in 51 or spitty..I can forse most planes into somthin similar but its not a true hammerhead...
-

I did a hammerhead yesterday with Noviche riding with me in an f4u-1. I was at the bottom of a rope and the guy didnt pull his tight, I did and fell in behind him. :aok
-
Effect taught me how to do the hammerhead in the P38. Here are the steps.
1.) Get speed and climb directly up using full power.
2.) Once airspeed is slow enough, deploy 3 notches of flaps and keep it in the vert.
3.) Right before stall happens give it maximum left rudder.
4.) Hopefully, if you've done it right, a hammerhead manuever will be executed.
It takes some practice to work on this manuever. But this is how I was taught the manuever. Hit me up in the MA if any of you guys want a demonstration.

A hammerhead is basically a flat stall rudder turn in a vertical situation. I have only been able to do it once, against BK in a 38. I don't remember how I did it, but I do remeber doing it.
-
I actually did an absolutely beautiful one, in a FIGHT no less, in a P-39D. Was knife fighting some guy in a Hurri-2C, had about 270 degrees on him but we were in a flat turn to the left (was before the flaps patch)... I knew I was a dead man, so I relaxed my turn and got my speed up to about 180 mph. He finally got around on me, doing about 130 or so I'd guess... I pulled up, went completely vertical, held in right rudder as I was about to stall and went over in a neat hammerhead, pretty as you please.
First and only one I've ever done.
-
It's my only real gripe with the flight model, but considering how good the rest of it is it's no biggie to me. I've pulled one a number of times in a Pitts with Mars, including tumbling, and the only plane in AH that can do anything like real life is the P-38. No torque and great rudder allows it. In single engine rides even throttled way back the nose wants to keep spinning around, you can't hold it still to get a wing to dip properly. The only single engine plane I can get close to one in is the F6. Haven't tried the P39 though. The mid engine might help it fall back.
-
See Rules #4, #5
-
Is a "REAL" hammerhead possible in a game..................
hmmmmm :huh :confused:
I'm gonna say Negatory Maverick :aok
-
Works fine in corsairs (-1a), but as moot said, it's quite slow.
But I wouldn't wait to be too slow (stall) in order to keep a maximum rudder authority.

Speaking of Mars....does he still fly AH? Haven't seen him around in awhile.
-
Mars the CO of The Screamin Meanies? <TSM>
If its the same guy than yes he does still fly. A lot of the TSM fellows aren't on a whole lot but you should feel free to meet up with us tonight for squad night. Gets started around 10:00 pm eastern, bishops, vox 143.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I would like to see film with hammerhead in any AH plane. My personal experience say its impossible, but you can do wingover instead.
http://www.furball.warbirdsiii.com/krod/images/wingover-anim.gif
-
yeah, I dont think the AH physics allows true hammerheads. As often as I try it never happens......its like the airflow generated by the prop at those low over the top speeds stops working the rudder after the initial 25-30 degrees........you need 180 degrees rotation to do a hammerhead.

You are correct in the method you describe, a hammerhead manuever is a tail slide with full left or right rudder. I think the planes with less rudder surface area will be the harder ones to try this manuever with. :salute
-
This is not correct method, afaik. Steps 2 and 3 are wrong, you dont need flaps and you must apply full rudder only when your speed becomes zero or negative, no stalls happens during hammerhead. Generally, you will want to cut throttle when speed becomes too low to prevent rotation (isnt necessary for p-38 though).
Method described by TwentyFo will result wingover.

A hammer head does not result in a tail slide.
Tail slides with most real aircraft are very very bad things to try. Most planes are not built to have air flowing backwards over them, things like flaps bending and control surface rods bending do to reversed airflow are real possibilities.
A properly done Hammer head does not start at Zero airspeed. Rudder kick happens when still traveling up and Zero Airspeed happens when about Perpendicular to the world, I.E. 1 wing down.
Normally almost full Opposite aileron is applied as you push the rudder, and more forward stick is also applied as the plane wants to sorta of twist on its back. And learn the manuver to the left on American planes, Last year when I was flying a Yak in the Ukraine, forgot the prop went backwards, and they go much slower against the slip stream. Still can not believe the pilot not knowing me put me in an inverted spin.
Rudder kick speed is fairly critical and varies between planes, when I do them for real ( and i have done a lot of hammer heads) you only have about a 5 knot window for the Hammer head to work, to fast and the plane sorta just hangs with the rudder over for a while, then the nose comes down, to little speed and you do not have Roll control of the plane and it normally ends up on its back.
With the most AH planes start by doing them at 50% throttle or less. Full throttle you will have to do them at to high of speed and the top of the arc will not have the correct speed.
I also find them harder to do in a sim vs real life do to feel and the visual you get. But even in a real plane it took me about 20 tries to do one with out ending on my back or nose up in the exit. There is a lot of elevator inputs to keep the plane slicing instead of flopping one way or the other.

here are the best 2 of 5 that i just tried. they are maybe not perfect. they are almost as good as Patty Wagstaff's demonstration in MS flightsimulator from years back - heh. It is very hard to eliminate horizontal travel aswell as vertical during the turn. throttle work might clean that up. notice no use of flaps. the second one has a poor exit.

I think Murdr was telling me the other day he got a nice dual throttle hammer head on film, i hope he will post it, his previous p38 film was the best example of an AH2 HH i have seen.

Careful up there dude, we need you here in AH :aok

You can do it in AH but it is hard, you've got to work the torque rudder, elevator, and ailerons hard. Tiffies were always good at it, same with 190s and 109s.

Done it in the RV-8 tons of times! its possible

I sorry you are right a hammerhead is not a tail slide, but I do fly RC up to 35% of scale mainly airobatic planes and I always use throttle just as I start stalling and let the rudder and propwash do the work, ofcourse you have to use all your other control inputs to maintane the proper alignment before this can happen. :salute
-
I went into the TA and tried all my fav. planes and found that the 38J (I didn't try the G or L) does a really nice hammerhead.
First, I went vert almost to the point of a stall, engine off, kicking rudder & the hammer was a thing of beauty.
Second, I did everything in the first try up to the point of stalling; but this time I turned one engine off while one was on, kicked rudder and almost did a vertical cartwheel. LMFAO

thoughs were pretty nice. :aok can u do them in any other plane?
-
Are you kidding me!?
THATS a hammer head!?
I call that a J-hook, and you can do it in every single plane in this game.
Some do it better than others, and twin engine planes need to have engine's managed while proceeding thru the turn.
All in all, its very simple, its just knowing at what speed your current plane will start* to stall at, already have your nose moving just as it get to that point, and when stall hits your engine weight will RIP that nose down, power up and off/down you go.
Sadly double engines planes can do hammer heads very easly, if you have a double control stick like i do for Rpm.
The thing that stops people from doing the hammer head is keeping full or higher engine power at the end of the stall, they reach stall then try to get the nose to fall left or right, by then its too late no air speed over wings, the tourque kicks in and you spin down. Realy its just a directionaly controlled stall.
PS. the P39 does AWESOME hammer heads with easy with or without stalling. ;)
Something about slappin' that rudder hard and the momentum carrying the engine/tail right over your head, sure the comin' down's hell, but the flip is quick and effective.
-
I know I have done them in the RV, P51,SPIT, KI,A6M5, not sure I have had any It could not be done, some are much more difficult than others.

agreed on P51 Spit and RV but have not tried the KI and A6M5 yet
-

I've never had to "manage" my engines when doing a hammerhead, there is no need to.

hey Tr1gg. this was from AvA the other night.
http://www.freeroleentertainment.com/P38hmmr.ahf - FILM 1 min
P38 deffending ki84 hammer head in combat. provides a winning shot from complete disadvantage. Venom infact denies me a kill shot and went on to win after a 3 minute fight but that would make the file alot bigger. It was a very good fight after this clip.
-
well ty for the film very nice.. :aok
-
D3a1 is my favorite, although p38 & Rv8 are almost as good.
Learning when to time your kick when the airspeed is in the sweet spot is the hard part.
That and control it so you don't get 90 or more degrees of rotation or spiral as the nose drops.
Torque likes to spin the bird around on you as your coming over the top.

I am glad he bumped this, I remember a few years ago I was fighting a P-38, I was following him up, knew I had the momentum, at the point I knew I couldn't push it further, here comes this 38 straight down at me
I was like " what the bleepin bleeper, bleep. bleeper... Hack" :rofl
no roll, wing over, nothin. I had no clue as to what he did, now I do, thank you to the Bumper of posts :aok

-
that video of yours makes it look so easy :aok
at the moment Im trying to do it in the 109 K4 and 109 G14, just as im at the top I slam the rudder full left and pushing forward on my stick but I end up dropping a wing a spinning down :(
-
Dont slam the controls at all. 109s are nimble it only needs a light touch to start gravity doing the job for you.
-
I do them all the time in the 38. I tend to cut my engine out the way i want to turn and go full rudder. with some flaps.
-
I done one today! :rock :rock
I was flying a 109k4 and had a F4U on my 6 and I had more E, I went up in the vertical with the f4u following me up, I kept her quite still till she was just over 0mph, gently applied left rudder and she moved round nice and smooth, the f4u stalled out about 400m behind me, I can down got the plane in my target and fired...although I missed :lol.
was a great feeling just a shame I missed when I fired :D that 30mm would have blew him apart
-
damn it all, this is not easy
-
I do it all the time with my 38. Dual throttles makes it alot easier. Like some guys have said in this thread...some are prettier than others.

Try doing them with the combat trim off. You don't get the computer putting all sorts of nose-up trim on as you approach the stall.

It's a blast. call up your local airport. Alot of places will offer an hour for $50 or so. It's great to see the familiar places in your community from the air. Flight time is more expensive if you decided to get your license...belive it's around $100/hr and you need 35-40 hours of flight time.

-
I always seem to end up doing hammerheads by accident in stall fights in the B-pony. It's usually because I've chopped my throttle and am ruddering to keep from winging over and stalling and it tends to just fall sideways beautifully. One time, however, I had it where the plane did half of the hammerhead, and then just fell to the earth sideways. Have never been able to replicate it, was a very strange spectacle from the cockpit view. Must've started doing the "hammerhead" after I was a bit too slow.

When I was learning them in my RV-6 got to slow at the top and and just barely made it around (lucky no tailslide) and just had to sit there and wait till the nose came down and got some flying speed. Without an inverted fuel system the engine quit and prop stopped, with the original wood props on RV's it is hard to air start without a lot of speed,
finally had to hit the starter button to get the engine turning again.

See who can make the other sick the quickest? :aok
Betting you could Scotch, went out of Pacfic City in a Dory one time and it was not pleasent.:)
What part of Oregon?

you can but it's not necessary to do one properly.
ack-ack
I take it that the stall limiter should not be enabled? Will that make it easier?

Good question. I've never flown with the stall limiter on as it is a handicap in a stall fighter.

When I was learning them in my RV-6 got to slow at the top and and just barely made it around (lucky no tailslide) and just had to sit there and wait till the nose came down and got some flying speed. Without an inverted fuel system the engine quit and prop stopped, with the original wood props on RV's it is hard to air start without a lot of speed,
finally had to hit the starter button to get the engine turning again.

That does sound like a pucker moment.
Why did you not put the flop tube in? It is easy when building, pain in the but post build.
Do you now have a constant speed prop? If so , just making sure you are aware of over speed possibility at zero g's.

I'm sure you can do it while it's enabled but never have flown with it enabled so I can't say for 100%.

Pretty choppy, not mid atlantic though. Still fatal if you fell overboard i imagine :O
Seagulls are a heart warming sight for any sea voyage.

The Pacific City dory's are pretty cool! :aok
We have one but it's pretty much retired to sit in front of our shop now.
Did you do the whole beach launch into the surf?
I'm down in Newport. We used to go to the airshow over in Hilsboro all the time. :aok

Wished many times I had installed the flop tube, but still don't have one. I did change out the wood prop for a Sensenich metel fixed
which is much easier to air start with.

in the homebuilt/experimental aircraft section you may have seen it there.
