HobbyKing 3D - HOW TO FLY 3D w/ Michael Wargo Part 2 - The Harrier

[mtwargo]

This one flys on the Thrust 40.  It is the larger one. Called the Addiction X

[bigguyforsure]

The addiction you are flying is that the 20 size or 40

Chapeau!

[Martin100k]

Awesome video, superb quality of editing and great instructional value!!!!

Keep these how to's coming!!!

More more more please!!!

Best regards.

i found out all of this information by myself... this video should have been posted earlier, my life would have been a lot easier

[SkyFlyerRC]

Once Again the Redbaron and Mike impress the hell of out me. Information is great, the editing and display of all this information was fantastic. You guys make a great team. BTW. the guy that said something about the flying below stall speed, ignore that guy. some folks just run their mouth before their brain has a chance to tell them to shut the hell up. You will always have haters. The jealous ones. With out their own show. Congratulations again gentlemen and superb work.

Another great video guys. Maybe Hobbyking could do some 3D plane giveaways with each of the 3D video series :o) Seeing they missed this one they can just send the giveaway plane for this one to me!!!

Question. How much tail heavy should the aircraft be based on 30% back from leading edge to get best results in 3d flying?

[mtwargo]

@coa106 I really cannot base anything on just a number like 30%.... BUT PLEASE EVERYONE READ THIS!!!!! I should have explained this up front! DO NOT MAKE IT TAIL HEAVY FOR 3D it is not good information. The plane needs to be balanced perfectly. If you fly tail heavy, if really tail heavy, it might make some parts of hovering easier... but not really. But then everything else looks bad. During a flight, you need to fly precisely and smoothly. YOu cannot do that tail heavy

[coa106]

@mtwargo roger that. thank you for the info...

[panther3002]

@mtwargo About NOT making it tail heavy, I'm glad to hear this confirmed from an experienced 3D pilot finally.I've been wondering about this for months, & every time I heard someone on a video say to "make the plane tail heavy for 3D and hovering" it really didn't sit right with me.I just got a B.S. in Aeronautical engineering from the US AF Academy and my academia tellsme that shifting the CG back will simply *destabilize* the plane and make it harder to hover if too close to the Neutral Point.

[panther3002]

Note: For clarification, the Neutral Point (N.P.) is the Aerodynamic Center of the whole aircraft, or in other words the "center of lift," or location where you can say lift acts as a point force if all lift is averaged out across the horizontal surfaces on the plane. For stability, the Center of Gravity must be *in front of* the N.P., and if it is too close to the N.P. the plane will be so sensitive you can't control it. A C.G. *behind* the N.P. causes the plane to try to fly backwards.

Awesome video series as Im learning 3D RC flight. thanks guys and keep em coming...

[skydiver2776]

Another great "How To" Video.

[ajoonikaur]

Awesome!

[ditchit]

On the intro..."3D defined: The Art of Flying just below stall speed"...eh, no...because then you would stall LOL...I think you mean just ABOVE stall speed.

[mtwargo]

@ditchit No... First, that was Robert's line... BUt really 3d is flying in a condition where the plane is stalled... hovering is at zero forward speed, and definitely stalled...

[RCRedBaron]

@ditchit : I thought I'd expand on this... Stall Speed is the speed below which the airplane cannot create enough lift to sustain its weight in 1g flight. 3D maneuvers are those made at this speed. Where the plane is no longer supported by the lift, but by the prop. It usually also includes a very high angle of attack. Maneuvers made above stall speed are usually not considered 3D. 3D Examples: Harriers, Prop Hangs, Elevator, Wall, Torque Rolls, Waterfall, Blender.. Hope this helps ~~Robert.

Now all we need is for HK. To sell Precision Aerobatics planes!

[arnaldo1219]

Keep 'em comming, I am learning to fly 3D just by wahtching.

Most of all Im loosing the fear.

[brendanw122]

fingers a little shaky eh lol
