[NSRCA-discussion] Performing Stall Turns

[JShulman]

My "secrets"...lol:

Make sure the airplane is not flying up when adding the rudder.
I don't throttle all the way back, especially with electric, maybe a couple
clicks up.
Add the rudder in an exponential movement (negative expo for Futaba pilots
<G>) so as to not move the plane in the direction of the rudder input
(wingover).
Let go of the rudder as soon as the plane reaches 45 degrees in pivot.
Add rudder as necessary, slowly, to keep from wiggling (opposite) or to make
straight (same).

Time to go build a Tower Kaos...

StallTurns


  OK…I’ve been wondering about this…



  Watching some of the Masters and FAI perform Stall Turns it looks like the
plane is climbing then rotates like someone put a pin in the center of the
fuse and turned it around 180. I don’t recall if this is during strong cross
winds or not. If I were to assume the role of a judge it may be close to a
wing over if the wind was calm. But then some are nearly straight down the
same line up line.



  So, what’s the trick or am I missing something that should actually be
downgraded?



  On a personal note, I will flop more often than I want. At least once in a
contest.



  Now let’s get some noise…vbg…



  Larry
