SETTING UP FOR 3D FLIGHT

Exponetial

To make your 3D flight successful, the most important

is to set up your radio properly and fine-tune the

exponential. We would suggest you use a

computerized radio plus a big LCD screen that could

show the exponential graph as the illustration.

Normally this computerized radio has dual rates or

even triple rates. Once you fly it fine with low rate in

normal flight, next you will have to set up 3D rate.  

We  suggest the 3D-rate setting is same as low-rate

setting around 1/3 of the total stick travel in the

beginning.  If you look at the graph, the middle section

of 1/3 travel are most likely the same at low rate and

3D high rate.  Beyond this middle section the 3D rate

setting is far higher than the low rate.  

Simulator

A good tool to practice 3D easier is to

fly simulator.  One may say simulator is not realistic

but this is not true.  There are some simulators

available in the mar ket and its scener y and

performance are just like a real thing.  For example,

Aerofly Pro Deluxe USB version from Ikarus or Real

Flight G3 from Greatplanes are all good simulators

you can choose from.

Simulator is a must buy tool if you seriously want to fly

3D aerobatics. There is no genius or born 3D pilot,

remember that practice makes perfect. 30 minutes a

day on a simulator can help you do hovering, torque

roll easily as well as other aerobatics. If you would like

to be a good 3D pilot, flying everyday is necessary.

The reaction to control the airplane will be more

nature. As there is no time to think when you do 3D

aerobatics.

Simulator practice might be perfect yet we suggest to

do some actual flying as the supplemental so it will not

go too far from the real thing as there are many things

that you can not learn in the screen.
