- Learning how to hover takes practice, confidence and a nice sized set of huevos. Here are some live footage examples of things that will help you along your journey to being a better 3D RC Pilot.
I'm so glad I found your channel...seriously
You just made my day!
Thank you sir! I'm adding a big gas Extra330 to my foamie fleet. Your videos are so helpful and will expedite my progress.
I love Extra 330’s! You’ll truly enjoy it. What brand and size?
Ive always thought a perfect tutorial can be done with animation.. and you are the only one I know who did that.. excellent work. thank you.
I’m trying to do things a little different. The animations are definitely not too shelf professional quality yet they seem to be getting my point across. Truth be told they take hours to do even as simple as they are. Yet I’m gaining experience and getting better with them.
Relearned the whole thing but with a lot more detail this time. Thanks.
Excellent! The weather has been less than cooperative so I've been slow to get new vids out. I'm happy to hear that this is still helpful and worth reviewing.
Amazing content. 💚👏 Thank you.
Thank you! I’m going to be posting more vids again soon. I appreciate the support!
I've found doing my wall to come into it at decent speed then let off throttle and hit the wall from a nice fast float( like to the point of a full stall) and ease back into the throttle....it helps with the gyroscope affect...especially feathering in the rudder like you said
You’re spot on!
This is really good stuff. Using the rudder when you enter the hover is new to me.
Very, very good explanation. Thanks
Thanks is Vincent! More stuff is on the way. I have a ton of topics to cover, just not certain what people would like to see most.
Great videos...love the analogy of the torque wheel..
I love playing with the wind and like you said just relax and let it go with the wind it's so nice when you finally get locked in ...only took me 3 years 🤣
Best video for both experienced and beginners I've seen ....great editing
Thanks man I really appreciate the complement. I’d love it if you shared it. Flying event season is wrapping up so I’ll be back to publishing videos soon.
great video covering thoroughly some stuff I only touched on in mine. I have no less than 3 or 4 hovering instruction vids and dealt with it differently. THis is a great supplemental for mine for sure. Different perspectives are essential. GReat job !
Thank you!! That means a lot. I’m a fan of your videos as well, I truly appreciate the vote of confidence.
That was excellent. You verbalized what I am looking for, and you didn’t talk down to me, even though you are obviously incredibly skilled. Thank you. Keep them coming. Maybe reviews of 3D planes you would recommend for the beginner to experienced journey. Like the twisted hobbies reference.
Thanks Troy! What a kind complement. I will definitely take your advice on reviewing some of the 3D planes I use and recommend. I just got back from some family time, I will start producing more vids this week.
First of all, thank you for all your great videos! If I may ask a question, does all of your instructions in this video also apply for electric motors? I am guessing yes, but not sure about the type of propellers and so on. Thank you
Thanks for the complement. Yes overall everything applies for electrics as well. I did use a few electric planes as examples. The props for electrics can vary greatly. I have found that I’ve had really good luck with Xoar wooden props on everything from 52” to 95” electric planes. Falcon wood are good, although they do have a little more flex at the tips. Falcon carbon fiber electric props are thin and powerful, I feel like they do require a bit more throttle jockeying to keep things tight when hovering and flying in general. On my smaller foam planes I prefer the APC indoor props (even using them outside) they seem to have a better shape and provide nice air flow to the tail. I hope this helps.
@@RC-Air Thank you for your reply! Yes it does help, I have a OMP Hobby 60´´ 540 Edge and I will try your suggestions.
just curious, if a 20 x10 prop would fly the plane faster than the 22x10 ? I know that longer props are better for vertical and higher pitches are for higher speed.. but just because we have a 2 " shorter prop in my example, doesnt it help the motor spin the prop faster, therefore, having a higher RPM which will finally lead to a bit more speed? Although both props are of the same pitch?
Hey sorry for the slow reply, life has been really crazy and I had to take some time for myself and family. It really depends on the engine or motor you're using I suppose. Traditionally a 20" is found on a 30-35cc engine whereas the 22 is for a 50-55cc. You're not going to get more speed out of a smaller prop on a gas engine, it will just over rev and you will run into mechanical issues. On an electric, on the other hand, you my be able to run a 20" on a 35cc with a higher kv and a 22" on a 35cc with a lower kv. I suppose in some manner of speaking the 22 should produce more thrust, but I'm not exactly sure that would translate into speed. I'm sorry that's an interesting question that I would have to have more information to really provide you with an answer.
You forgot to say...
Cheaters use gyros....
A gyro guy can't hover without it
Well I can’t really say that because everyone is on a different level and approaches the hobby in a different manner. While I myself do not use a gyro, there are some truly talented pilots that do. It’s only cheating if you’re competing.
I was doing a hover with my eurosport...
I've gotva gyro on the pipe only..
I only realised after 10 years plus
I've never turned it on correctly
My head was massive after that
Haaa
