RC ! thank you SO much for this from a beginner 3D guy, what an eye opener and true lesson of the science, mechanics and math involved in making it right from a base point and learning from there...............Thank You!!!!
Great video... and better yet is the explanation on the video... I watched it a couple of times and need to watch again.. when you are switching the rates, I personally can hardly notice any difference in your stick movements.. in the video they all kind of look the same .. BUT when you explain the difference then it all comes together... the relationship between the prop, expo, rate, CG as you said is indeed a very important. Its like walking a tight rope, on a windy day, while joggling..
You’re spot on. And it goes to show you that you can actually fly with your rates not entirely dialed in, you just have to work harder at it. I’m happy to hear that pointing out the subtleties helps to make sense.
It’s such a fun discipline to learn. I’m happy to hear that you’re begging to fly 3D as well! Take your time and practice often and you will get there. I love that you look forward to my videos. I apologize for the gaps in time, it is a lot of work doing them by myself. Are there any topics you would wish for?
Everything you teach is a topic for me. To be honest, it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm the novice that I don't event know what I want to know.@@RC-Air
Everyone that is good was a beginner at one time. Just practice with intention and practice a lot. Don’t get discouraged when it’s not easy, embrace the challenge and have fun.
Thank you and the high speed stuff is way outside of my comfort zone for sure. I hope you found the humor in my attempts. Thanks again for taking the time to comment, it truly helps.
@@yodecaf I’m not gonna lie, it’s so tempting to cut out the mistakes. Yet I hope in the long run people will have the same appreciation for it as you do. We’re all talented in different ways. My goal in keeping it real is to show that while I’m good at some things I’m just a scrub when it comes to others. We can all get better together.
@@RC-Air definitely. Watching you has made realize how Jerky my flying is. Watching your vids has made me be intentional with my throttle use and strive to make my transitions graceful
@@yodecaf ahh man you hit me in the feel goods! When I fly, my absolute favorite complement is when someone says “Man that was smooth” because that is what I strive for. I’m so happy to hear that you not only recognize it, you are working to implement it in your own flying. That there makes all this work worth it!
Welcome to the dark side! Yes it is definitely challenging yet well worth it when it all comes together. I struggle with vision issues for a really long time as well. Low and slow and up close is a good solution. The video that I’m currently editing focuses on flying small and close. Just focus on flying steady and avoid anything abrupt, it will come together. I’d love to see your progress in time!! Best of luck.
This morning I was trying to tame down a 60" EF MXS... I thought of an idea that might help you create a few more videos in this regard. How about a video that shows which manoeuver will help to find out the rates and expos easier especially on a new plane... for example, I like to dial in my rates and expos in mid rate while doing harrier and hover... and dial in my HIGH CRAZY rates while practicing pop top and blender.. etc.. and of course low rates for taking off and landing. just thought of it.
It’s an interesting thought. I do the same thing with my 3D rates and rolling harriers. That is how I fine tune the expo. The problem is for most people learning the rolling harrier is the moon. I’ll play around with this idea a bit more.
Hola 👋. Bien interesante este tema, realmente estoy bien interesado en descubrir mi combinación más adecuada para mis prácticas de vuelo 3D. Te agradezco mucho el trabajo que haces para ayudarte y aportar a la comunidad RC. No estoy seguro de haber captado toda la idea pues los subtítulos al español son algo impresos jaja😅. De forma general.. si el acelerador tiene un recorrido o respuesta más rápida entonces debo de utilizar menos exponenciales o es lo contrario? 😅😅😅 Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺. Para un piloto que inicia en el vuelo 3D que consejos puedes darme?
Thank you for the kind complement. I'm sorry the subtitles are somewhat confusing. The essence of what I am trying to demonstrate with this video is the slower you fly, the more sensitive your elevator needs to be OR if you prefer to use more expo you will need to compensate for that by increasing the thrust over the tail by either surging the throttle or using a higher pitch propeller. As far as advice for someone new to 3D, start by getting a good quality RC Factory foamy they are by far the best tool for learning. Then make sure that you are practicing constantly. Start with harriers and hovering and get comfortable with how the plane flies and reacts while in high alpha. Take your time and try not to do too much, make each maneuver intentional. Happy Landings!
@@RC-Air Copiado, gracias por la explicación y los consejos, los tendré en cuenta. una pregunta más, entonces esta lógica de mientras más lento menos exponencial o más empuje también se aplica a las otras superficies de mando como los alerones y el timón de cola ? Saludos desde Cuba.
While I will say yes it does apply to the rudder, I tend to use much more expo (70%) on my ailerons. I want my tail to be active and my wings to be stable when flying slow.
These videos are the best I have seen. I am trying to learn harrier and hover on a Dancing Wings SBACH foamy. I am having a real problem with wing rock. I can't seem to get a fast enough connection between my aeleron movements and actual response to get it locked in. I have no problem on a simulator with a Multiplex Parkmaster. Obviously practice is a big issue but are some planes really difficult in this respect? I have tried many different expos and rates. Have you any beginner's tips for controlling wing rock?
It sounds like your tail is just not getting enough air across it to hold it down or your ailerons are over correcting. Try moving your expo on your ailerons to 70-75%, increase your throw on your elevator to at least 49 degrees or as high as 55 (I almost never go above 50 myself) and make sure you are using enough throttle to hold the tail down. You may want to consider going up in pitch on you prop slightly as well. If you have the time review my inverted harrier video. I believe that may help you with your issue. And... some planes are just really tough to get them to behave.
I have to be honest, i use expo but rarly use a switch for rates. I just learned how to do things all with the same rates and expo. Some planes are harder than others to do this with, but i kind of like the challenge without remembering what mode im in. But everyone is different. I like the skill of flying no matter how the controls are setup. I may take some time to fine tune each plane but after that its just a learned skill.
Everyone has a different way of doing things and the beauty of it is that nobody is wrong. The goal here is more to show someone what I am experiencing with the different rates and expos in the hope that they may be able to better dial in their planes by knowing what to look for. I know plenty of pilots the never flip a switch and conversely some flip switches so often they sound like a typewriter when flying. As long as you’re having fun and your skills are not limited by your set-up I’d say you’re definitely on the right track.
i fly extra 300 bnf, what is good expo for high, medium and low rates? are the dashes on the TX represents degrees similar to your TX on all transmitters the same way

I'm the big beginner of 3D acrobatic. Always waiting for your lesson and thanks for this video.
looking forward next one☺

Those high speed tumbles are on my practice list. When you get em right they are awesome! Really love the depth on all your vids
Thank you and the high speed stuff is way outside of my comfort zone for sure. I hope you found the humor in my attempts. Thanks again for taking the time to comment, it truly helps.
@@RC-Air i like that you didn't edit it out! Sometimes the pro cuts don't give you a realistic look at how most people fly

Very nice video. I am transitioning to low and slow due to vision problems. Skill wise it is VERY challenging. Enjoy all your videos.

Excellent explanation!
Thank you! I genuinely appreciate your feedback.
Thank you for explaining. One Question: Only for Elevator? What is with the other (Rudder, Ailerons)?

How about a video that shows which manoeuver will help to find out the rates and expos easier especially on a new plane... for example, I like to dial in my rates and expos in mid rate while doing harrier and hover... and dial in my HIGH CRAZY rates while practicing pop top and blender.. etc.. and of course low rates for taking off and landing. just thought of it.

Bit confused so set dual rate with expo can u make step by step video

i fly extra 300 bnf, what is good expo for high, medium and low rates? are the dashes on the TX represents degrees similar to your TX on all transmitters the same way
