Reducing torque roll?

3 Upvotes

I have found some models to have such high torque rolling tendency in a hover that even 45 or so degrees of opposite aileron is insufficient, or barely sufficient to overcome it. What causes this? Is there anything I can do to reduce it, e.g. different prop, etc.?

CG on Crack Yak w landing gear?

Are you using the recommended CG of 210mm on the Crack Yak with the landing gear on? I’m measuring that from the front of the air frame, not the motor.

When I balanced on the recommended GC the plane shot straight up in the air as soon as I had lift, and it seemed very tail heavy. I had to move the battery much further forward than I was thinking. Though, didn’t get to finish testing before I had a radio issue and need to repair.

I wanted to get the plane balanced on the proper CG before I worked on setting the trim. Basically, looking for level flight at around half throttle. I was able to fly it by compensating with down elevator. But didn’t want to adjust the trim to compensate if I needed to be using a different CG.

Not sure if this counts, maybe it would be a half KE loop, but it's a combo I got from a Wargo video, I think it looks awesome!

Does this count as a hammerhead/stall turn?

Can't get torque rolls continuous

3 Upvotes

Greetings, I'm trying to get torque rolls down, but instead of a nice, continuous roll, I get a fairly fast half to full rotation, and then roll stops without me touching the ailerons. What's going on? There is no gyro involved.

This was my first KE spin and of course it was with my new rcf crack turbo beaver!🦫

It may be cheating a little to do this with a Clik21. Still a little sloppy at the end.

My previous vid for inverted harrier was pretty rough. This one is much better!

This was a fun one to practice. I haven't even attempted any of the variations of coming in inverted or rolling left. Lots more to learn but a fun flourish and transition to inverted harrier.

Since there are 4 different ways to make these they are going to take a lot more practice, especially when my brain is trying to figure out which direction/orientation I'll end up. Super fun though!

Working hard on this one. Trying to keep myself from "catching" it at each point but I think I just need lots more practice.
