View Full Version : 3D moves... REALITY or DREAMING!

I have this vision of an Edge 540 or a Pitts merrily flying along and busting into a move that is SO chaotic that you would think the wings must surely come off... head over heels, tumbling, flipping, smoke going everywhere. Sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.

Attached is my edit of the RF version of the Great Planes CAP 580 and a recording of my somewhat limited aerobatic skills. In previous AV's of this model I asked for direct feedback but alas have recieved none. I have never flown an aircraft of this type (except on the sim) so am unfamilliar with their capabilities. I was pleasantly surprised to find that you could get some pretty good action out of these models just juggling some numbers in the editor. It's a hoot throwing a model around that at first seems unflyable. Can an RC model REALLY do these things? Give your impressions. GOOD, BAD, or UGLY... I view all feedback as an opportunity to learn.

Oh! By the way. I meant to hit the ground in the recording (ha, ha).

Transfered the edited CAP 580 over to G4 from G3.5 the old fashioned way... entering the numbers in one by one. Word I have is there is no way of transfering files directly from one to the other (please correct me if I am wrong). Contrary to what has been posted the model flys the same. Physics in the realm of 3D flight seem unaltered with any changes being extremely minute. I did move the CG foreward slightly which may indicate a change there.
