Thank you. Exactly what the R/C community needs. What you missed? Probably the tendency to call all rolls 'barrel rolls', all wing drops 'tip stalls', and vertical climbouts 'vertical takeoffs'.
Glad you enjoyed it! Believe me, we had several others but opted to not include everything in one go this time around. The differences between a roll/barrel roll/snap roll were one of them. As for tips stalls - we had to write an entire script on stalls to properly cover that one...stay tuned! 👍
I've been flying RC planes for over a decade, but I really don't know the difference between a barrel roll, a rifle roll, and a snap roll. I just call them all "rolls" to make life simple. If there is a difference, cane someone please educate me? Very informative video by the way. Thanks.
@@larrylaitner3473 Axial roll, or aileron roll: plane rotates or rolls about its longitudinal axis while maintaining a very nearly straight line of flight. Barrel roll: plane flies a spiral pattern centered on its line of flight, which is usually horizontal. When viewed from behind, the plane appears to travel around the surface of a barrel. Snap roll: An aggressive, high energy maneuver in which the plane very quickly "snaps" into an uncoordinated mode of flight which may have one wing stalled. It has been described as a spin along a horizontal flight line. Control inputs may consist of just elevator and aileron, or elevator, aileron, and rudder. A snap roll is not as precisely defined as the axial roll and barrel roll.
I used to do snap rolls in a (full sized) Bellanca Citabria. As I recall, the inputs were: quickly full up elevator (back stick) and at the same time slam full rudder in the desired direction. That would stall the wing corresponding with the rudder direction and the opposite (outside) wing- still flying - would snap the plane around very aggressively. To recover: when half way around (inverted), quickly reverse the inputs - opposite rudder and stick forward - and by the time you were upright, the plane would recover, allowing controls to be neutral. Timing might be different with different aircraft, but that’s the gist. A stunt pilot gave me ride in a Pitts S2a, and a snap roll in that thing was truly violent.
Sounds fun. I never made a snap roll in a full scale aircraft - a C210 or a light twin would probably not appreciate that, at least their gyros wouldn't. But in RC, I'm pretty sure I add some aileron to snaps to increase my roll rate. Maybe that's not so smart after all, as an upturned aileron will effectively reduce that wing's angle of attack and consequently fight the stall we're after.@@anguscampbell9311
As my dad always said” A rose with a different name, still smells the same!” Us old guy’s used to call aerobatic maneuvers, stunt or pattern! And what about ETRM’s. Great stuff again Zack. 😊
This helped me understand a crash I had earlier today, thanks. No damage BTW, it was a volentex 400mm f4u going low and slow so I just had to search for the prop. That baby can take a beating and not care at all
That last clip.....I love doing those stalled flips into harrier landings idk why but I do it often or at least the quick snap flip into harrier or hover
Most servos stop working long before the receiver system voltage reaches the lower operating threshold of the receiver which is 3.5V for most receivers now in production. You most likely had a full signal with the plane but servos incapable of doing what they are told. That 5V 2A BEC in that cheap ESC is marginally able to power the servos on the ground let alone in the air with aerodynamic loads on them. Lesson to learn don’t under power your control system, power your receiver and servos appropriately.
Great Video! The terminology slang can get folks confused quick. Just a note at 6:57 , Boeing recommends landing in a crab in high crosswinds to avoid dragging an engine across the runway:) The 757 actually has a 40 knot crosswind landing limit! I have had to do this many times in the 757 to avoid scraping metal:). While it is correct to have your tires parallel to the runway at touchdown, its actually a necessity to land in a crab in many planes with under-wing mounted engines. Boeing has designed the gear to take that abuse & landing the plane in a crab saves you a trip to the Chief pilots office:) That was actually a excellent example of a crab landing in high winds in a 757... having a wet runway helps a lot when you have to perform this kind of landing! Also, the deep stall encountered with the FMS 64mm Rafale is somewhat exacerbated by the fact that the canards don't move as they do in the full scale or 80mm version, so there's no way to unload the nose to get it out of the stalled condition:) To be more correct regarding terminology, I prefer to use the terms "forward CG" and "aft CG" instead of "Nose Heavy" and "Tail Heavy." For many, the terms "Nose Heavy" and "Tail Heavy" seem to be perceived as the CG not being in a reasonably flyable position which is often true. Keep the great videos coming:)
Thanks! Oh yeah, totally aware on that one - we just needed a good example of what side loading looks like and despite proper procedure being a crab with the 757, the side load shown in that video made the concept we were discussing much easier to grasp from a visual standpoint. Rafale wise - regardless of the canards being fixed or not, it was a usable visual for what deep stalls look like which is why we used it. As for CG terms - pick your poison there. Both are acceptable. :-) Thanks for watching! 😀
Thank you so very much for this Eye opening video, I absolutely enjoyed it. I usually don't make many comments, but I just had to say something about this one. In fact I have never seen any of your videos I don't like. Thanks again for your wonderful wonderful videos.
To make matters even worse, Beta is also correctly used to indicate a case where the power lever is primarily controlling pitch rather than power, typically used at low thrust conditions where the throttle response of a turboprop is unusually slow so pitch is adjusted instead and the inertia of the prop is used to add thrust while the engine power catches up, This range also includes the braking/reverse thrust regime on turboprop aircraft so equipped. It's often incorrectly also used for reverse thrust (which is in the beta regime, but not the only part of it)
Have you covered Tip Stall? One of my favourites. Don't know why the grumpy old modellers want to argue this with the 20 year aerobatic pilot and flying instructor, but it's fun! They get the idea i.e. know the wing has stalled more at the tip than the root. But they miss the little details.
"brownout is a loss of control specifically caused by a receiver voltage sagging due to your Rat's Nest of cables, old and terrible receiver battery, weak sauce BEC or your 39 Cent Alibaba switch being incapable of powering the circles or receiver" Nah, that is just one part of what it can be. Brownout simply and specifically means voltage-sagging below the specified operation level. That can have many other reasons like you just flying too long, the battery getting too hot, having a shared battery for motor, receiver and servos and no BEC (that has not been that uncommon), a motor that draws too high spike currents for the circuit etc. Specially with early generation digital receivers getting a brownout was fatal: The digital logic could hang up during a brownout and would not recover until fully disconnected from the supply-voltage. This happened a lot when people just upgraded from analog to digital - first long flight in nice weather, flying nearly as long as the battery can handle, and during the landing-approach with higher loads from the servos the receiver would brownout and the plane crash. Good receivers have brownout protection/recovery, and better yet would be a fully redundant receiver power supply. And i mean there can always be unforeseen circumstances: Some of the digital servos would stay in the last received position of the control-signal would drop. So everything is fine, a small gust of wind and you gotta use rudder/ailerons for a short time at max deflection - and you crashed. The sudden increase in powerdraw from the servos working against the wind caused the voltage to just sagg enough to brown-out the controller, so now the signal is lost and the servors keep drawing full current and thus keep the voltage low.
That’s something caused by the left turning tendencies. There are four total left turning tendencies but not all apply at once depending on the type of plane and phase of flight you’re in. Stay tuned - this is one that’ll be addressed in a future video because it was too long for this one. 👍
“Tip stalls” is such a heavily debated one that it needs an entire video to itself. As for airspeed vs groundspeed - we had this one on our short list as well but it didn’t make the cut this time around. 👍
Now I'm curious. Is it not just speed relative to the air vs speed relative to the ground? I realise I can google it, but the algorithm likes engagement.
Heh wanna do a turn to downwind stall discussion ? I bet it to be +1000 posts long all along with no clear winner, just as usual.@@TailHeavyProductions
We have a few on our field that are made up. “Marked It” we have a guy on the field that is named Mark. He crashes very often and usually leaves a 3 inch crater in the field where a plane went full speed into the ground. Leaving marks and scars on the field. When someone else does it other than mark, we say “Marked it!” “Wack!” Is actually a term used in hang gliders, when a glider is landing and crashes by having the nose of the glider hits the ground. Everyone shouts “wack!” Same thing for Rc planes that are tail draggers. When the nose smacks the ground, we will all yell “wack!” “Going for pizza” is when a aircraft overshoots the runway and lands on the taller grass. I don’t know why it has to do anything with going for pizza but it’s used at the field and I’ve never questioned about it. “Walk of shame” is when a aircraft flips, wacks or gets stuck in or by the runway and a individual has to walk out on the runway in front of everyone to retrieve their airplane.
The next time you journey by air in one of those oversized, people-carrying models, remember that aircraft do not park on the tarmac. They park on an apron. Tarmac != apron! Tarmac is an old road paving system made by coating crushed gravel (macadam) with tar. If you overhear some father explain to his kid that their aircraft is ready on the tarmac, make sure to give him the correct term to use. He'll thank you for it, that's for sure! 🙂
11:52 Motor is electric, not electrical (electrical refers to machines producing electricity). Another term that is used so often, but not strictly related to flying, just RC model terminology is left and right handed props. The copters changed it totally nowadays and reverted something that as been going on for 100+ years.
The guy turning off the transmitter and the guy that knocks the transmitter out of the kids hands causing the airplanes to crash doesn't belong in the hobby. He'd get his clock knocked out if he tried that around here especially if he did it to me. I'd have no mercy.
Short stack, Tall stack, Yard sale, Shot down (old FM days, you know that guy that's to lazy to change crystals even though you had that channel first, 72.670 ch44 thank you.). Dang I didn't know there were so many new terms for RC flight. Like the 170 inverted flat spin, who makes that model?
I pray you covered the all too used term Tip Stall!!! Most don't even have a clue what a real tip stall is!!!! I've given up on trying to educate the "tip stall" maniacs!!!
I thought a brown out just meant you were flying a Spectrum radio? BTW ,although not a technical term, a company called Fromeco, you hear it pronounced Fromco they drop the "e", Fro-me-co, not From-co.
5:30 technically the glideslope IS the path the airplane takes to the runway, but that path is indicated either by your instruments or the PAPI lights (Or other fancies like PAR OLS). Obviously RC strips dont have established glideslopes to refer to.
PAPI lights are not always coincident with the glide slope antenna - the PAPI is generally on its own and is purely a visual reference to fly a consistent approach path to the runway. It’s in the name: precision *approach path* indicator. Not glide slope indicator 👍
@@TailHeavyProductions so another way to refer to it is approach/glide path, path doesn't specify that it's using an approach instrument (ILS,LOC,GPS,RNAV,etc)
Aaah! I'm not at the field to school anyone. I'm there to fly ! I'll answer questions, but I'm not a pilot. I do have experience in electronics & have an A&P so I rip out "stuff" when I get a new Arocraft...ha
You missed two very important terms Airspeed vs Ground speed. Many of my Non Full Scale R/C Buddy's Really don't under stand the Difference. Example they don't under stand that when Landing into a stiff Head wind that their airplane is NOT really Flying SLOW. They are Confusing Perceptual SPEED i.e. GROUND SPEED actual speed across the ground Papering to be TOO SLOW. While the RELITIVE WIND over the wings is the same no mater if in a HEAD Wind or No wind or a Tail Wind Condition. They just believe it's too slow.
Believe me, we had a lot of terms on the short list but had to cut down to not make the video 30 minutes long. 😁 Stay tuned for a part two one day soon. 👍
Funny story - I posted a query on one of the RC groups on Facebook some time ago and someone commented Brown Out. I thought they were being racist until now. 👀
Since we're talking aircraft words: Is there anyone out there who didn't realize that Citabria spelled backwards is Airbatic? I guess the correct name of a Citabria should be a Citaborea? 🤔
Your UAVs have legitimate localizer/glide slope antennas on them, and you fly approaches to full scale airport runways off of their localizer/glide slope transmitters for each applicable runway? 🧐
Awesome collection of misconceptions. One addition regarding to brownout: A Loss of signal but also a violent stall or even a near-miss can cause a brownout. Bring spare pants!
The purpose of that section of the video was to clear the air on folks confusing the trademarked terms of “AS3X” with “SAFE” and assuming AS3X auto levels - when it does not. 👍
They actually do exist - stay tuned for an upcoming video on everything related to stalls 101…tip stalls included. We’ll clear the air once and for all on the topic. 😁
@@TailHeavyProductions Well sure they exist, but they're not a thing any more than root stalls or any other R/C flavor of stalls. I'll watch for your Stalls 101 video!

BTW ,although not a technical term, a company called Fromeco, you hear it pronounced Fromco they drop the "e",

While the RELITIVE WIND over the wings is the same no mater if in a HEAD Wind or No wind or a Tail Wind Condition. They just believe it's too slow.
Believe me, we had a lot of terms on the short list but had to cut down to not make the video 30 minutes long. 😁 Stay tuned for a part two one day soon. 👍
Many have lost what the Term SCALE even means. I blame the Influencers for most of this stuff.
😢
I was expecting you to clear there air about tip stalls. Maybe next time ;)
Stay tuned…we needed to write an entire video about stalls for that one. 😁
Funny story - I posted a query on one of the RC groups on Facebook some time ago and someone commented Brown Out. I thought they were being racist until now. 👀
I want to know the story about the bro who knocks the Tx out of that kids hands.
3D flying isn't a crime. But 2D flying is a crime against physics.
You left out “tip stall” ....
Another great "teaching" video with plenty of humor thrown in ! I'll watch it a few more times!
Huh! I ain't doing any of those high Beta aerobatics. I do only high Alpha flying like the Alpha I am!😁
A brown out is when you shit your pants and it shows on your trousers.
Since we're talking aircraft words: Is there anyone out there who didn't realize that Citabria spelled backwards is Airbatic? I guess the correct name of a Citabria should be a Citaborea? 🤔
Lol yes, that’s a common one 😁
beaver bush conversion???!!!
👀
I think Ik Ryan Johnson 😂
Disagree with ground slope we use that with UAVs all the time
Your UAVs have legitimate localizer/glide slope antennas on them, and you fly approaches to full scale airport runways off of their localizer/glide slope transmitters for each applicable runway? 🧐
Awesome collection of misconceptions.
One addition regarding to brownout: A Loss of signal but also a violent stall or even a near-miss can cause a brownout. Bring spare pants!
Not really. A brownout is a temporary loss of power to the RX causing it to reboot. Its a power issue and nothing else.
Funny - basically everywhere else in the world is is called acrobatics - airplane/aircraft/RC-acrobatics. But the US gotta be different :P
Hello I’m mr 🦇
I'm putting flight controllers into all of my planes just to spite those who are against gyro. Suck it. My plane can literally fly itself.
You completely missed the myth of the "Tip stall."
Looks like you found the video where we didn’t miss it. 😂
I fly to create events and become a better pilot, not avoid events.
I know as a fact that all my planes have a 0 mph stall speed.
😤
@@TailHeavyProductions I forgot to say earlier, but this is a great video! Thanks
"SAFE" is a trademarked, proprietary implementation of auto-level (and other features), so it is not "RC terminology"
The purpose of that section of the video was to clear the air on folks confusing the trademarked terms of “AS3X” with “SAFE” and assuming AS3X auto levels - when it does not. 👍
Tip stalls? Did I miss it? Did you miss it? How could you miss "tip stalls"? Pst. It's not a thing.
They actually do exist - stay tuned for an upcoming video on everything related to stalls 101…tip stalls included. We’ll clear the air once and for all on the topic. 😁
@@TailHeavyProductions Well sure they exist, but they're not a thing any more than root stalls or any other R/C flavor of stalls. I'll watch for your Stalls 101 video!
They do exist on RC planes, but only on certain types of wings and in certain scenarios. Stay tuned!
If you are interested in RC flight and don't watch Tail Heavy, you're doing it wrong.
Fly what you can afford.
