    A good tip when flying inverted is to place your thumb behind the elevator stick that way you can only push forward not only does it stop you from pulling back it also to some extent reduces the temptation to pull back, if you do it right you can still move the stick left and right but not backwards

    balancing props is the same for every type of RC plane/Helicopter. You find a way to see which blade is the heaviest, either sand it down, or add weight to the other blade. Do that for all four blades and it will be balanced. I usually find something roughly the same size (slightly smaller) as the hole on the prop, and spin the prop on it until it stops, try several times to see if the same blade lands down every time, that's your blade to adjust, or adjust to.

    I had a plane once called the Capital Flyer by Megatech. Its basically a trainer with a special wing. Semi-symmetrical airfoil so the chord was about a Third of the way up, and you could choose to flatten the Dihedral so it feels almost the same inverted. It was fun, but didn't get grate reviews.

    tip for flitetest, get the gopro chest mount. you wont have to make that contraption and it wont get in josh's way and the angle will always be straight on. you can point the camera straight down with the chest harness. just a thought

    By forward force does he mean throttle?

    • @sleepyshibe628
      @sleepyshibe628 9 років тому +3

      Nah, he means elevator. Forward stick on elevator means "nose goes down", but for inverted its the opposite.
      Of course you still need throttle to maintain enough speed.

    • @zhillsx
      @zhillsx 9 років тому +2

      B. Tickles I practiced with the Hobbyzone Sportcub s which is a 4 channel. Similiar size to the Champ. I have found that if you feel that you can fly and you have total control over a small plane in advanced mode then you are ready for the apprentice with safe. I highly recommend the apprentice for the next step up. You won't regret it.

    • @joehlerking7611
      @joehlerking7611 9 років тому +1

      B. Tickles I bought the Apprentice in December. Its my first RC plane. Did allot of research watching these videos etc. I love my plane, the way it handles, what it can do and the variety of modes you can fly it in.
      These videos give me that extra TIP and the Apprentice does a fine job. I just bought a set a floats for it and cannot wait to give that a try.
      I wanted a plane that I could do allot with, fly nice and gentle, or do some aero's if I wanted and she does not disappoint. I am sure there are many great planes out there to choose. I chose this and its been a winner.

    @geneticallyinferior1 12 років тому

    if it goes down, then its called anhedral. eg f104. if there is more than 1 angle i.e. it is straight wing with only the tips going up, it is called polyhedral. eg f4 phantom or f4u corsair have polyhedral wings. your extra 330 should have straight wings. your wings a warped :/
