Spin
Technique for FS model |
This aircraft is capable of Spins, but there is a
technique. Note, this may or may not work on every ones computer given a
number of reasons. 1. Bring the aircraft down to stalling speed
(around 45knots). 2. At the stall
kick in full right rudder and some aileron. 3. When the nose falls below the horizon, center the rudder and aileron leaving the elevator in
"full up". 4. The aircraft
will then spin about the main axis until positive recovery is initiated. 5. Recovery is initiated by full down elevator
and opposite rudder, spin will stop within 1/2 to
3/4 of a turn. |
