Son says "Nice crash" (with a smile). Thanks for uploading. Did you lose elevator after the first KE contact with Earth, or did you lose orientation? |

I fly hard when I make video. The one thing you can always count on watching one of my videos........ that's all I've got. Occasionally it doesn't go so well.

In the meantime, I'm putting the accessories together for the 78 over the last few days... I won a 50% off coupon from Castle at the electric fun-fly event last weekend at MCRC that turned out to be worth $135, so for all the great help and discounts, thank you Castle, thank you Hacker, thank you Mejzlik, and thank you Savox. Looks like we may have a new EF plane for the Deland Huckfest, and between me, Frank, Maynard, Carl, Skylor, and Tom, the skies over MCRC this fall will be filled with Extreme Flight airplanes from 48 to 78 inches... I'm guessing 16. I think Tom's will make it four 78 inch Extra 300's at our field... and there will be video. And congratulations to Doc and Tom for taking first and second place in the 2012 Park Flying Freestyle Video Contest here on RC Groups... And thanks to Flopgun for gathering some cool sponsors for the event. If I'm not mistaken, I think EF planes came in first, second, and fourth. |

It was a screaming inverted pass, and I pull the nose stright down, hesitate a half second, and them full right, full right, full up. It's just an inside snap roll, but when you start from iverted it really goes crazy. |

thanks it kinda looked like a snap but like you said it went crazy after that. Really need to work more on my snaps and tying everything together with them my snaps tend to be lazier and I lose energy.
anyone got a 10 of $50 tower coupon? Usually they put them on the your packing slip, don't have any extra xoar props left. |

The plane I wrecked in the last video is still flying. I sold it to a friend in Orlando and his sons flew it for at least a year and they just sold it so someone else. I think you have to actually fully kill one of these things to get it to stop flying.
I just put together a new red and it flies perfect, just like the last one. I really love these Extra EXPs. |

When I learned snap rolls we didn't have 3D and we didn't have 3D set ups. We did inside snap rolls simply by using full aileron and rudder (same direction) and full up elevator. This doesn't work so well with a 3D planes for a lot of reasons I don't understand. I believe the big controls and big deflection put so much drag on the plane that it slows too fast before it can rotate, and on most snaps with full deflection the plane will sort of wallow through it lazilly. Andrew Jesky calls this a "3D snap." I've found that you can still use full rudder and aileron, but you need to use only about 1/4 elevator, and then the plane will snap properly. The problem is not the airplane or anything you are doing wrong. It's more like a 3D set up won't let the plane snap cleanly. Just for the heck of it, snap roll the plane on low rates and watch the difference. Strangely for some odd reason I cannot explain, every 3D palne I have had does snap well to the outside. A lot of the top pros use a separate rate strictly for their snap rolls, but that is simply too much switch flipping for me because I forget to flip back. I do more outside snaps because I am more sure of myself with those, and on inside snaps you will see me use a little more caution. |
