Eliminate up down left right - Learning to fly article

Wow you already know how to fly inverted, so you should go for it man, mai too liao...
My 2 cents. The plane need to be trimmed perfectly before it can do inverted or any other stunt. And that's why its difficult to fly inverted in real plane than in the sim. Sim planes are always perfectly trimmed.

Normally need to do some correction even when trimmed perfectly. It is very hard to setup a plane so nice that it does not exhibit drift any orientations.

For example like my extra 300 from extremeflightrc, It has the tendency to snap right sometimes even at high speed, needs left rudder on inverted harrier (normal for most planes) and the list goes on for the motor thrust CG related offsets. One adjustment affects the whole behaviour lol. I get over this by flying it more and understand my "partner".

I believe it is not so simple as "Mai Too Liaozz" lah... still hard to convince myself to do any stunts except banking turns only.. haha..

But in sim different lah.. you play sim, you should know too.. totally different.

After one month here is my progress..
Inverted flying on Estarter - OK.
Very fun... and with my slow reflexes at times, makes it more shiok...

no harm reading for beginners like me

i think it is useful esp the part on moving the stick to the lower wing to level when you are manoeuvring towards you. I actually learned this tip somewhere else and find it useful. helps me a lot to do a smooth turn.

problem is when the plane is level and towards you, there is no lower wing!
so what i try to teach myself is to move the stick to the side where i want the wing tip to be up. Or do a bit of small left-right movement on the stick to regain orientation ref if the distance permits.
