He is good! Like me when I was his age really... :)

Hello Keith , RPP means, Reversable Pitch Prop.
The picture is of Martin's Edge plane that he flew in the video.
Hope your flying is going well !!!!!

Happy Days:
Thank you for that explanation Richard.

As for Martins plane,……..without wishing anybody’s plane to get damaged it’s very gratifying to know that I’m not the only one who “bends ‘em” :oops:

As for my flying……….rolls, inside and outside loops, and inverted are,….. well………..‘okay‘. Having a bit of bother with knife edge, and even harder flying KE whist turning. :?:  (I want to fly KE all round the hall,……………but the walls/floor keep getting in the way!)

The real problem of course is being able to fly these manoeuvres in such a way that after each manoeuvre I’m in a position to perform another manoeuvre.
What’s happening at the moment is that I’ll perform, say, a outside loop. But when I come out of the loop the model is flying slightly towards a wall so I have to correct the plane’s orientation before I can do the next manoeuvre. These little “corrections” tend to lead me into a sense of panic which then completely cock up the following manoeuvres OR….the plane ends up in a heap on the floor! It’s all very different for flying out on the slope, though not so far to walk to retrieve the pieces! :roll:

So, how are you getting on with your Phase 6 Richard. The only problem I found with them was their landing speed. How are you finding it?

Hi

That plane's not damaged.
It's got thrust vectoring - the motor is connected to the rudder servo.

Aidan

Happy Days:
Oh I see!

I’d assumed it had gone ‘nose in’ but now looking at it I see the rudder is turned to the right as well.

I’d never heard of thrust vectoring with a prop motor,………..that’s amazing! :clap:

Richard Boyd:
Hi Keith thrust vectoring is another amazing trick that some of the great indoor pilots use to amaze us mere mortals lol
Knife edge is very difficult at any time to perform , outdoors is ok but indoors it has those walls coming up a little to fast.
The only model I have ever flown that did not need mixes on the transmitter is my Clik plane !
The others I have had to add rudder to elevator mix.
For the plane screwing out of loops , I think you will find that you have thrust issues with your motor.
Setting up indoor planes really can be a pain, but if you take the time then you will reap the rewards.
I prop hang my planes with every control surface set at neutral, if they veer of left then I need right thrust if they push away then a tad up thrust , I continue this until I have the plane neutral and hands of in the prop hang. This can be done in the living room or the work shed if the wife is not permitting lol
This is only a rough guide , final trims and CG is sorted out in the hall !

My Phase 6 is waiting a decent days weather to go to the Mountain !
I went to the mountain yesterday and is was -16 up there and snow snow snow ! The kids loved it but the old man was freezing .

Benoit the original Thrust vectoring indoor plane !
This plane and video is about 4 years plus old. Shows how far advanced the mainland Europeans are .
