Avanti Slow Roll and 4 Point Roll in 60 Seconds - with Control Surface Position Indicator

Flight 3 at the EDF Jet Jam in Rosewood, Indiana on June 10, 2023.
Newly modified Control Surface Position Indicator shows how much rudder, elevator and ailerons are used in a slow roll and 4 point roll. It's not much!

Just enough to keep it from losing altitude..

LOL! I was curious how much the surfaces move in millimeters. The Position Indicator is precisely calibrated for that. But yours is the best possible answer, especially if you want to do these rolls just feet off the deck. I haven't got that brave, but a fellow club member was doing just that at our recent EDF Fun Fly. His Avanti wingtip in knife edge was about 6 feet from the ground and never wavered. He was also doing slow rolls and point rolls that low. That really set the bar for me! I'll need a lot more practice, though. In this video I lost about 20 feet at one point.

@@txkflier That's fantastic! 50 feet at 90+ mph doesn't leave much room for error. In the video I'm at 80-100 feet, and that felt low!
