gusty sir guess the inputs at 1:42??

wanted to wait for gusty sir but could not hold my horses...!

as long as my understanding goes.

thats a "inverted snap to hover" maneuver

come in inverted--> ele stick up--> rud stick right--> aliron stick right--> corrections to proper hover ...


correct me if wrong 

u are kinda right and kinda wrong.. snap is always done with same side aileron and rudder.. but when u are inverted this ... so it sticks opposite side rudder and ailerons.. BUT this particular maneuver is done with the input u have written up there.. only change u need to make is .. u need to release ailerons early here.. and delay rudder and elevator.. and u then ofcourse  correction for hover.. nice catch mate..

p.s. u need super hugh surfaces and superstrong servos to execute it in real life.. did it last sunday... gusty sir was there too!!

thats what it is called.... check this at 2:05... this is normal  one. and above is inverted...



PS: wanted to be there in blore last sunday... gusty sir had called...  but again..exams..    lucky i get a 15day gap for madras..

PSS: tried it on sim just now... comes good except for the recovery part(for me, and thats the  main part ) i am still stuck with rolling harriers.

yes u got it right.. but his isnt that neat.. u can do much better if u release ailerons on time..
its a very classy entry for torque rolls.. good luck with harrier rolls.. it will take time.. be patient.. n try to break down the maneuver to better understand it..

Great video. Again, I wonder about the dead reliability of the engines & fuel delivery systems; what do they use?

I've managed some of those moves but I don't call it 3D flying.  Instead my video is called 3D crashing

crash in sim and ace it on field..

'Snap to Hover' (Inverted or otherwise) looks great whne executed well, else looks like recovered outta disaster. Good flight we had on MXSR (Shadman and I) incl Snap to Hover

gusty sir .. that was brilliant flight we had..  amby guys need to see that..  by the way got a hang of  snap to torquing.. 

see this .. never knew this possible.. i think this guy is using gyro.. or sumthing..

thats some serious skill .. euro champ "alexander blazer"..

flew an mxsr electric and a raptor at RCTC cal, incl inverted snap to torque, wasnt clean, though. on it..

never seen faster and precise rollers like this guy.. daniel holman

insane flying..

holman at xfc 2012

watching the recent trend .. people moving towards fpv and quads.. the essence of the aerobatics is being lost... lol.. sour grapes huh!!!

@shadman- I would prefer a 3D plane anyday  - maybe because they are the reasons that I was attracted to aeromodelling! The quads have been there for a long time but they cannot steal the spot of the extreme and maniacal 3D planes!

.. nice to know there are some passionate ppl here.. rest are busy selling their birds.. lol..

Becoming proficient at 3D flying (planes or helis) takes significant focus, time, effort/discipline and MONEY (especially in the case of helis!)     

People lack one or two of these, that keeps 99.9% out !

+1 to shadman & anwar bhai

@anwar bhai.. why heli flyers always feel superior to log flyer (thats what they call planes.. LOG) serious racism.. lol.... .. i feel planes require equal concentration .. especially when it comes  to neat 3d routines..

I meant heli folks spend a lot more money than airplane folks in perfecting their art.  The reason is that you can become fairly good at 3D moves using a "flat out" foamie, but it is hard (if not impossible) to do the same with a really small heli.  And with larger helis, comes major crash costs. 

And if you are not crashing, you are doing something wrong

Or you're doing it absolutely perfectly

haha +1 anwar bhai and fyi planes are not called logs they are called planks lol by heli fliers ...yes am not saying there is no effort in 3d flying regarding planes but it is propelled in one direction which become manageable to control and back out of a maneuver in case things go bad  ...helis behave like like intoxicated ppl if u try to correct in one direction they fall the other way there is no constant direction to them if u know what am trying to say   lol  

laws of aerodynamics helis cannot fly, ---- gliding characteristics a favor to planes 

+1 divyam..
@anwar bhai.. honestly i never crashed a plane while maneuvering .. i had couple of unexpected dead sticks on nitro stupid birds..thats why i moved to electric and gas..  may be u learned the hard way .. doing it right .. lol..  .. btw planes are equally expensive like heli's..
 helis are scary.. i love heli 3d ... but i love myself more..  thats why i m out of it.. 
do u remember this incident..

I never really tried airplane 3D at all, except for hovering.  And that was easy to do, with all the heli hours behind me.

I did try to seriously get into heli 3D, but then found other interests calling, including the fact that I started enjoying training others and troubleshooting others' planes/helis much better than fixing my own crashed helis   So heli 3D was put in a back burner couple of years ago.

I am cautious... but not scared of helis

thanks vinay for letting me fly his new super awesome bird..

gusty sir check out ,.. snap to hovers

ido segev .. daddy of all 3d flyers..

gernot 2008 Clover Creek Freestyle..

thats called flying on music.. not with music like american pilots do..

Shadman, missed it, saw'em now, see you at hyde

wow.. that will be fun.. i m picking another gasser to add more to the fun and making custom ailerons (40% at root and 35% at tip ..yeah!!) and elevator (70% ) for  it .. extra 300sc 20cc from rcd .. goldwing needs to improve bigtime..  this time no dle.. its jc evo 23.. 3.5hp .. 1 hp more than dle 20..  with insane servos... u will love it

This is the best routine and execution one can dream of.. simply incredible

best pilots alive.. these guys are on serious juice..

Amazing Synch flight..

Sunset 3d on katana

Tie Breaker Freestyle  at NIT Warangal 2013
 I was flying the Home-Built MXS 49".

Good one Shadman, i knew you will win, Kudos, was looking forward to sky dive with you. alas ! you had to go to warangal

Sir, i got soo  involved testing the New MXS .. that i totally lost track of all the plans ..  .. This is a much better plane compared to katana.. even  does right toque rolls   I m sure you will enjoy it  too ..

testing my sbach with Custom wings

getting down to the deck.. mxsr 31%

Exceptional..

thanks Umayash ..

great shadman! you could afford to move cg back a lil more,low speed translation to hover will be smoother

@shadman_alam
See last screen. It says:
To get down to the deck you need balls of carbon fibre.
Honest. It says that!

giggle it off.. its just humour.. to get it down to the deck, u need to burn a lot of gas ...

After Daniel Holman.. Jase Dussia giving a tough charge to European Flyers..

Is that Shaastra.

No.. in Shastra he had got a 60" Extreme Flight Extra

I know that I was there.
I guess I posted total nonsense in the above post lol.

Tanmay Flying his beautiful Scratch Built Foamy.. Amazing Flight Champ

Gernot gracefully flying his BD-5 jet.

how is it flying with such a low speed?? astonishing!!

he he he...

Devesh chasing the foamy.. some really cool shots of flat spin @ 1:32 and KE spin @2:05

@shadman_alam,

Arre, this is fantastic stuff!

Kudos to the pilots, and to whoever thought of shooting this video 

Changing the 'Beginner' tag in your profile may be long overdue...

Regards.
