The worst for me is on landing, last week landing in crosswind I was sort of crabbing in on the approach then as I was about to touch down I gave a bit of rudder to point straight down the runway except I applied the rudder in the wrong direction oops :oops: :ohmy:
I wonder if a 3ch might be worth me getting used to rudder operation,

That's only practice! Like me you're still having to think which way to apply the correction. I'm told there'll come a time when your fingers just do it. I'll probably die before that happens!

I think I had the same set up as now with model cars in that I steered with the right stick,cant remember now but i think thats the way there set up..You are right pol often my models take off with the wing nearly touching but I know which way there going and immediately react as they lift.Your right Dean my flying improved dramatically when I acquired an old Super Scorpion 3 channel.I fly 3 channel with rudder where Ailerons normally are and its my natural way of flying.I find them very easy and relaxing.Because they need to have the height lost way out you get use to coming in very low from a long way out..O dont seem to incurr any problems landing.Yes BB I bragged about fingers and thumbs haha maybe I should try taking off laying on my side.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Good day flying my Rocket but had to do some trimming and its become very sensitive and needs flying very gently otherwise it over reacts.Very enjoyable though and still needs adjustments on the under carriage.

If it is just very touchy in pitch (elevators) check the c of g hasn't drifted back a bit, it might be right on the rear limit. If it is ailerons as well, the servo throws have been altered, somehow.

The under carriage is much better now so ground control is better so take offs are good.Flying yesterday was excellant and had no problems at all,really was exhilerating fun. Its become very responsive and exiting to fly

Must learn to read all the thread and not just the last post, am glad your "under carriage" is now better, ahem :lol:

Now where is the picture of her flying!!!??? Pwetty pleaseeeee :whistle:

Well its like this Sarah,If I take a photo of it flying it will be one of it crashing so youll have to wait until some fair weather fliers turn up.Next promising day is Thursday.I was thinking I should start taking my camera just for youhou

Next couple of days Im away but very windy today Thursday looks promising

And Thursday was good.I can only take 1 model with me and leave one in the truck in case I need backup.Had a great day with the Harmon Rocket really enjoying it now it seems set up now.

Seems as though it is a bit like the Pulse 40 Stephen, flys itself and lands itself ??? :woohoo: :woohoo: :evil: :evil: [badass] [badass]

Garry

Oh no Garry its much much harder than flying that Pussy Cat haha

Yours still flying?, mine is :woohoo: :evil: [badass]

Get back on topic Garry!!!!!!!!

Garry

Oh Garry thankyou for the opening,No Garry my pulse was lost when a fault occurred with my Spectrum Tx in take off and it was destroyed.This was the last straw and why I changed to Futaba [badass]

Thankyou thankyou !!! Here is a photo of my latest Harmon Rocket
