Hi Juan, thanks for taking the time to put these videos together to help others. The one thing I would like to suggest is to remove the back ground music . It distracts from your great advice and commentary. Otherwise really great and much appreciated
Ack when I was doing f3a I used dual rate rarely but always some expo to soften neutral for smoothness! I mastered rolling circles, square loops with half rolls and super slow rolls.
Nice, I know some people flying only with expo. In the end you have to choose what makes you feel better and more confident. I think I could not fly F3A without DualRates 😅
Yes, watching it again and again periodically. So important tho go up and down vertically without any steering... I mounted larger wheels because of our field, had to trim up.. destroying my trimless vertical. Mounted a stronger (little bit) heavier motor, destroyed my vertical again... I fly a rather small f3a trainer... not the real thing... Much more difficult to get everything right. it is so good advice from you thank you!. Maybe you could talk about how to remedy the tendencies when forced to mount bigger wheels or having to adding nose weight... Thank you so much again.
Your mixes on rudder are due to coupling, so when ever rudder is used, which is almost all the time it's to be expected that the mixes are on all the time.
Hey Artyom! Do you want to see it compensating, or only applying rudder 😏🧐. Setting up a mix to make a perfect knife-edge loop is a challenge but depending on the maneuvers of the schedule I try to adjust as much as I can my mixes for perfect knife-edge flight. Noted for another video 👍. Cheers!
If the plane pulls towards the canopy on a up line, do you add more down thrust on the motor ?? or do you change the wing incidence??? if its wing incidence are you raising or lowering the wing - Thanks
Hi Jerry! That´s a very good question. I would start first with the motor incidence adding more down thrust. However, if you prefer to start changing the wing incidence, I would lower the wing a little bit. In the next video I will talk about with a practical example😉. Cheers!
The T-Canalizer is designed to enhance the efficiency of the rudder, resulting in a more responsive model. It is really useful in knife-edge maneuvers, as it provides better control. In addition, mine has a small elevator that serves as an airbrake. Overall, these modifications are useful in improving the model´s performance and control. Cheers! ✌️
As you can see in all these videos, I could not be happier with the Epilogue. It will be my model for the next season for sure :). You can have a look at all the BJCraft models we have and also contact me if you have any question or you need other recomendations. Cheers! ✌️ www.rombautrc.com/bjcraft-rombautrc
Excellent information Juan, quick question if I may, when you measure the c of g point are you measuring that with the canopy on or with the canopy off? Keep up the good work these are great helpful and informative video's. Here's to a happy 22 season!
Hola Juan. Muchas gracias por los videos, me van a ayudar mucho...Una pregunta...cuando dices que hay una mezcla en la bajada vertical del 0.5 %...la tienes activada cuando el motor está al 0 %? o la activas tu manualmente con una palanca. Gracias de antemano desde Mallorca
Hola Juan, te escribo desde Mallorca, quisiera me aconsejaras un avión para iniciarme en F3A, llevo años volando! Me gustan estéticamente, y por mi nivel de vuelo, NO necesito un último modelo!!! Pero eso sí, para motor eléctrico!!! Gracias. Y enhorabuena por tus vuelos!!!
Hola Luis! Todo depende del presupuesto, pero si no necesitas un último modelo creo que lo mas aconsejable es buscar un F3A de 2m de segunda mano! Estoy seguro que con un F3A ya trimado disfrutaras muchísimo si te gusta el vuelo acrobático. Si no te convence, también puedes conseguir aviones de tamaño mas reducido con marcas como BJCraft, SebArt o FMS que te pueden ofrecer muy buenas características de vuelo... aunque rápidamente querrás pasarte a un 2m... 👹 😁. Recuerda que puedes contactar a través de mi web conmigo si tienes alguna duda mas concreta. Saludos 😉 www.rombautrc.com/contact
Hi Fuse Lee! I normally use my T-Brake if it is very windy and I want to make the approach faster and brake only before the landing or just for fun, here you have an example ua-cam.com/video/MOvbbylYN0M/v-deo.html. I have seen people (pilots used to use CI engines) using the ailerons (both up)... I tried but I didnt see a real benefit with the current electric motors and thats why I am not using it. Cheers!
Sorry, I'm really not so excited about your Video. You're talking and talking and talking and telling facts, I already know, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in this F3A stuff. But you dont give any simple advice to correct unwanted behaviour of the model. This is not very efficient.
Please produce more of these videos. This is so important for our hobby 👍🏻
Thanks a lot for your comment Jens! Sure, we will bring more of these videos 😊
Gracias por compartir con nosotros todos tus conocimientos, saludo desde colombia Club F3A
Gracias por tu comentario!! Saludos!!
Juan, thank you, an excellent video and very interesting, should benefit a lot of pilots and not just F3A pilots.
Thanks a lot Andy!! 🙏
Very helpful video. After watching your video I'm going to go through this process on my current plane and see what I find. Thank you!
Thank you John! Let us know how it goes 👍
Hello Juan, Thank you, helpful information!!
Gracias Carlos!!
VeryBeautiful f3aplanes😍💯👍

The music and yes you have an accent makes it hard to get info.
Very informative and helpful. Great informative video ideas. I’ve wanted to see this for years. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment rharn47. In the following weeks I will upload more videos talking about trimming and training methods I normally use 🙂

Nice nice video! Thank you so much! Next episode: loop and maybe next, rolls world.
Thanks for your comment and suggestions! 😉
As usual a great video from the master :) ... please do more of this stuff !!
Thanks Moshe!😅 Next one a practical example of how I trim my airplanes 😉
What I want to know is when do you decide if your wing incidence is too high vs too low. Same with stab incidences.
Just Sub... Good information and keep it up... Will be watching...
Thanks for your comment villagepilot! 😉
Your mixes on rudder are due to coupling, so when ever rudder is used, which is almost all the time it's to be expected that the mixes are on all the time.
Juan, can you fly close to you on knife edge, look in tail and do knife edge loop. I wanna see how your plane does it.
Hey Artyom! Do you want to see it compensating, or only applying rudder 😏🧐. Setting up a mix to make a perfect knife-edge loop is a challenge but depending on the maneuvers of the schedule I try to adjust as much as I can my mixes for perfect knife-edge flight. Noted for another video 👍. Cheers!
@@rombautrc My knife edge loop is going to bully, but knife edge flight is perfect.

Hi Jerry! That´s a very good question. I would start first with the motor incidence adding more down thrust. However, if you prefer to start changing the wing incidence, I would lower the wing a little bit. In the next video I will talk about with a practical example😉. Cheers!
What is the purpose of the little wing above and behind the canopy?
The T-Canalizer is designed to enhance the efficiency of the rudder, resulting in a more responsive model. It is really useful in knife-edge maneuvers, as it provides better control. In addition, mine has a small elevator that serves as an airbrake. Overall, these modifications are useful in improving the model´s performance and control. Cheers! ✌️
Good video again! Are there commercial F3A aircrafts you could recommend, full size?
As you can see in all these videos, I could not be happier with the Epilogue. It will be my model for the next season for sure :). You can have a look at all the BJCraft models we have and also contact me if you have any question or you need other recomendations. Cheers! ✌️

Hi great video！Did you mix aileron with rudder？ Can you make a video on that？
F3A MA SAAH
Excellent information Juan, quick question if I may, when you measure the c of g point are you measuring that with the canopy on or with the canopy off? Keep up the good work these are great helpful and informative video's. Here's to a happy 22 season!
Hey Philip! I always measure the CG with the Canopy on. Thanks for your comment!
@@rombautrc Thanks Juan, wishing you all the best for the coming season.

Hola Carlos! La mezcla siempre esta activa, pero solo funciona cuando el motor esta al 0%. La mezcla es Motor sobre Elevador. Saludos!
And 2nd question is: what cam do you use and what of them is the batter for making records by self?
It is quite challenging to record F3A, with stabilized and high quality footage. In Germany I am recording with a GoPro attached to my cap 😅
@@rombautrc What is one of GoPro?
Hi, can you show us the basic flying for learning F3A. I just start it.
While checking your Balance in the vertical dive, is that powered, or no power.

Hi . Do you use Gyro ?
Hi!! No, I don't use it in these models as it is not allowed in F3A competitions.
How to slow down to land on short runways ? Can we use aileron as spoiler?
Hi Fuse Lee!

Hi Juan, Have you took a F23 video? thanks
done :)
sorry that it is difficult to hear what you are telling with that disturbing background music
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice video but please loose the “music”
what motor, esc please, transmitter please
You can find more information about the motor and ESC I use in our website: www.rombautrc.com/dualsky-rombautrc
The transmitter is the Futaba 18SZ
I did look at the motor, esc, video also very informative. Thanks again.
