You can try mixing in the ailerons and/or the rudder into the throttle.
Question for 3D flyers: how do we mitigate torque roll?
I'm working on an Su-26, which will have a 65cm wingspan and an 8x5 three-blade prop; that will no doubt give a lot of torque to manage. Now, with a 3D plane having giant control surfaces, I have a few options to counter the torque and I'm wondering which approach is best. Do I...
A) Off-set the angle of thrust like I normally do?
B) Counter it with Rudder Trim?
C) Counter it with Aileron Trim?
D) Mix Aileron with Throttle?
E) Use a bit of two or more of the above options?
Generally I'd agree with everything aligned straight and just fly it out. But then again, maybe this is another option. Bet it would sound neat.

Interesting...@mastermalpass - yep, trim buttons and maidening don't really mix. Of course you can always have a buddy hit the trim buttons. I recently found out that on OpenTX you can make a momentary switch into an instant trim button. You fly the plane straight and level and hit the switch and whatever position the controls are in at the time it copies the settings to your trim - viola - insta trim. Its a little easier said than done.
my own waterslide decals - inkjet printed onto special paper, then spray varnish over the top to waterproof
The varnish is an essential part of the process. I assume without it the ink washes off when you put them in water. Here’s a link to UK Amazon - I’m sure they’re available everywhere?Didn't know that was possible. Do you have a link to the "special paper"? Is the varnish part of the process or are you just doing an extra step?
BTW... Gorgeous model!
Very well done. I've been making my own decals for a while using either Testors or Bare Metal Foil decal paper with OK results. I cannot get over how rich the colors came out on yours. The problem I have with the fore mentioned brands, is they will only print on standard quality which makes for translucent prints & I have to make two & put one over the other. I'm going to see if I can get that paper here in the states.Putting some finishing touches to this Hawker Hunter EDF jet (balsa kit, 50mm fan, 3s battery). First time trying to make my own waterslide decals - inkjet printed onto special paper, then spray varnish over the top to waterproof before fitting. Really pleased with how they look - way better than my usual hand cut vinyl or packing tape!

You can, but I enjoy watching from this one.Should I make a seperate build thread for the above post?

fantastic finish buddy, what did you use for the white backing of the decalsPutting some finishing touches to this Hawker Hunter EDF jet (balsa kit, 50mm fan, 3s battery).

Thanks! It’s a bit rough close up, but I’m pretty pleased with it! The white backing is just sticky vinyl hand cut with the kitchen scissors.fantastic finish buddy, what did you use for the white backing of the decals
