Hovering and point rolls in all orientations and directions (CW/CCW) is the foundation of a competent pilot. Practicing good habits is much easier than unlearning bad ones. Wargo has good information that will help you progress. Oh, and yes that airplane is a 3-holed brick.
Thanks Mike, great input.. I've taken more and more chances with the confidence and excellent results, that you've instilled,.. just watching your tutorials.. keep em coming, Cheers!
good one Mike! I never thought about the instinct part for hovering and getting backwards as David did. I know about Instinct for full size aircraft...... yep good one! Another thing that will help with that ...at least for me anyway... is "real-flight" simulator time.
I made that exact same mistake today on my twisted hobby crack laser. Totally agree with you that not panicking is the most important thing in 3d hover. If I had just added power and waited for 1 second before adding stick inputs, I could have saved the plane.
Nice one. You mentioned about a routine. Was there one of your videos that talked about putting a routine together? I can do a lot of 3D moves but I don't really have a plan.
I ironed on some lightweight bright neon film coloring stripes on my son's Erattix so it could be seen better. He now only flies giant-scale 3D, but the Eratix was hard for him to see. It's almost all red, which isn't good for a beginner learning 3D.
Mike please help. I struggle with how controls seem reversed when coming at you or when upside down. I practice for hours on my sim, take a little stick model etc.... but have not found the secret cord ( like the moody blues say). I don't know wether to look as the front or the rear etc. I think there might be a simple little trick you could help so many of us out. Like you said it is counter intuitive. I can fly real good on the sim, torque rolls etc, fly coming and going.... but trying to find the solution or what to remember when using rudder..... mn that's tough. I have been flying for 50+ years. My ADXL is best plane I have ever flown. I just would like to know tricks for understanding rudder inputs and resultant plane travel... a system if you will.. for flight other than normal. I also have 5,000 hours in many types of full size. So I do understand a little bit....
OK. Of course tip is it is reversed from normal. I watch the nose. But you may not like that reality. YOu just have to get used to it. Make it intuitive. I do have one tip though. Whenever you get into the new orientation, make a small rudder waggle to see what the result is. It will possibly make the inputs in that moment intuitive because you registered the result in your subconscious. Same with landing. I may do a quick tip on this. On your approach, just push a rudder and release to register the correct input. I have seen this work in beginners and more advanced pilots
@@MichaelWargo Thank You! ...Yes Mike I actually have started to do that. A small input just to see. It works well on the sim. I will have to try more in real life. Do you watch the nose all of the time? Man, when I try to combine watching the nose or the tail, it is like there is a much greater number of options as to how the plane will respond....becomes super confusing. One thing I did, which was eye opening the other day. Flying upright straight and level. Put in right rudder and of course plane flat turns to right. NEVER RELEASING THE RUDDER.. then on roll axis, plane is now upside down.... and it is going to the left.... crazy stuff.... and not intuitive as of now.
Thar plane is Def one for flying close and lower than 40 ft....almost lik an indoor plane...lol I Lowe orientation and wiggle it to figure out where I am lmao
Another great video by Micheal. Thank you.
Very valuable advice once again from Michael. Many thanks for this video.
Excellent video! Keep up this line of work.
excellent I'd like some of this!

YEs. It is a Brick... LOL I was so shocked the first time I picked one up. Crazy heavy for what it is.
Are there recent man doesn’t seem to age lol

Hello Michael, hello, could you make a video with tips on how to adjust 3D the accelerator curve in Dx and NX spektrum radios ?

Might need more expo seems to be all over the place
