3D'ing with Aerofly Pro

[peejay]

Hi All

Does anyone have any tips on learning to fly 3D with Aerofly Pro? The weather is lousy here, and it looks like the only practice I'm going to get is on the sim.

I've been practising with the Giles202toc, which I can hover pretty happily. Haven't got the hang of harriers yet, and torque rolling is still a disaster - as soon as the plane rotates so it's belly on to me I lose it. Anyone have any tips - on suitable models, tweaks to the setup, things to practice?

Thanks in advance!
Phil

I just got AFPD a few weeks ago and though I'm still new to it, I found the "edit" feature to work wonders, adjust the throws and give the engine more power for starters. I couldn't get most of the stock planes to do too much before making these changes.

If you want a good link to download more models, tips and etc. check out this post on RCU, lot's of great free models:

When torque rolling belly towards you, remember to push your rudder stick towards the lower wing. Someone told me that once & it's really helpful.
