Ali,I have a J3 Cub BL 3 channel that I am learing to fly with..(very hard w/o sim).... why make a 3 channel rc plane when a 4 channel seems easier to fly or is there more of a learning curve with a 4 channel? Also the Redcat Jetiger has only is a 3 chan right?..... no rudder but you can fly it like a 4 chan....? And can the 4chan Radio system with the Redcat planes be used with Clearview or Realflight sims? Thanks!!

[alishanmao]

@cayuga82 No idea if RedCat 4 Channel Radios can be used with Sims. maybe not, yes its better to have 4 Channel plane for learning curve

[cayuga82]

@alishanmao How doesthe Redcat Jetiger fly like a 4-6 chan if it is only 3 chan? The "delta wing" plane flys like that beacuase it is using a "spoilerron" as an alieron and rudder? There is no rudder so it is just elevator and alieron right?

[alishanmao]

@cayuga82 yup it flies like 4 Channel setup

[cayuga82]

@alishanmao Also you say the 4 chan setup is more forgiveing or better flying but for beginners is that too dmuch........a beginner should start on a 3chan set up? Just keep it simple ie rudder and elevator.

[alishanmao]

@cayuga82 normally in 4 channel setup mostly beginners always use Ailerons and Elevators, they learn to use rudder way after they learn to fly well :D

[alishanmao]

@FlyTheSkys95 well maybe i sound like your mama thats why.

whats an elewaiter? lol

[jonnyb69able]

u can fly perfectly well using rudder and elevator providing you don,t over do it on the rudder and gently stir in some elevator . in fact its good practice.

[mustang19ms]

you're awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Just a quick question, I don't think that you're using the keyboard, what are you using to control the plane? an RC connected to the computer? thanks

@aggron195 apply elevators.

[jrkclk]

@MrMikeProductionz What he said was making a turn using rudder only. You will bank the plane and lose lift cause your wing surface is no longer creating lift. You can you rudder if you use elevator with it. A 3 channel plane will still lose lift while turning using rudder with no elevator. Beginner planes are just more forgiving because the angle of the wings will help self level.

@FlyTheSkys95 oo your got told

[dwp39]

i have a 3 channel hobby zone super cub, and have a hard time maintaining altitude, gonna upgrade to a 4 ch, thanks for the vids, very infomative

[MrMikeProductionz]

Isn't 3 CH Throttle, elevator, and Rudder? How do you fly a 3 channel if you said that you can't only use the rudder to turn. I purchased a plane that can be 3 CH or 4 CH. I'm a beginner so i want to start with 3 CH, but how will it work if i dont have ailerons to turn?

[RcJunky209]

me too the new supercub only has rudder

[aggron195]

i only have rudder so i cant use aleron then what it starts falling.
