FT What Did You Do RC Today : Caution Offtopic At All Times

[mrjdstewart]

sooooo impressed with not only the quality but also the ease of assembly. haven't said a single bad word yet.

oh, and all the parts and bags are clearly labeled. what an idea...

tomorrow the tail will get glued in and servos installed. then all that is left is to button up the front and install prop. definitely on for a saturday maiden.

laters,

me

My receiver for the Yak arrived yesterday! I'm working on setting it all up, and I'm aiming for a maiden sometime next week!

That looks awesome!

 

[Paracodespoder]

I'm sorry if it comes off as that way

ITs all good, I’m just amused that’s all , btw, what 3D maneuver can’t you do?

Rifle roll circles. Like really big ones that take up the whole field. It's the hardest maneuver to do

That sounds tough, time to go try that with my pitts!

You know what's weird? I can do roll circles all day but the second I try a rolling harrier I end up stuffing it after like 3 rolls.

Standard rolling circles are so fun... but rifle rolling circles are scary. Each time I make it to the halfway point it dives.... my brain hates the curve it does

At 1:15 he does one... it hurts my brain

That would be a crankshaft 😂

 

[OliverW]

You end up pushing -21g doing one

Lol, something tells me that won’t end well...

Seeing that flight in person was wild

How do you do it? Just get it close to stall and mash down elevator? With really high elevator rate?

I think I'll stick to pattern stuff...

Honestly I enter mine at around 100mph. You give full down elevator, lots of rudder, and lots of aileron. You feed in more aileron and rudder the further into it you go to get it to "crank" upright

I have also heard it being called a lomcevak. Actually that is how I killed my first 4s mini mustang. I did one and it died after the inverted spin that came right after (I forgot to use rudder).

A lomcevak is what it was developed from. A lomcevak is a continuous one that doesn't go upright, but a crankshaft "cranks" upright and you exit from it

I had a FT sea angel that would do them really easily because the thrustline was so high lol. Just go vertical, cut throttle and wait for it to stall and then lay on the throttle and it and it would go spinning around
