Low is better ? - RCCanada

sylo26 · 05-14-2008, 12:47 PM

Hi! I try to practice some 3D manoeuvers as harrier , roll harrier. The problem is that if I'm low I'm better cause I see my plane better , but I'm afraid not have time to recover if I make a mistake. Higher,it's safe but I it.s harder to see the reaction of the plane see ? Am I the only beginner who have this questionning ? Thank ! Paul

If you don't keep the altitude you will lose it. Try and find an altitude right between not too high and not too low. Keep flying you will find it.

I find it best to practice new things up higher, but not ridiculously high... Its better to overcome your higher altitude difficulties before you get down on the deck and practice. Should you lose orientation (and you will) you will then have a chance to recover. Once you are fully comfortable up high you won't even be concerned about coming down. Rolling harriers are one of the worst for practicing low because your flight path will tend to wander in all directions until you get the timing down.

Zippy we gotta get together. I finally replaced the diaphram and the 3w is even more of beast!
You, me, Mike A and Gene from williams lake need to throw down soon. Gene was taken his 30% to the grass the other day. Me and Mikey will do the same. LETS GET IT ON!!!!
