BoneDoc's 3D Clinic: Rolling Harrier 101

[@foamy3Daddict]

Josh, another fine production. Thanks for all your work. I will be studying this one many times over as this is one of my goals. I have fun with the foamy planes doing rolling circles, but it's strange that I can do a complete rolling circle with only aeleron and elevator. Does that sound right? I can also do rolls with with aeleron and rudder only. I just keep the aeleron stick pegged to one side. I'm trying to get to the "stir" going but I guess it just takes time.

[@zajorcfly]

Thanks for another great video. The thing that you sad- to watch what the airplane is doing and follow helps me a lot. We have to follow the airplane and not the other way around. The deference is that my point of reference is always on knife edges. Harrier roll or gust roll. Everyone: please don’t try to master rolls whit only rudder or only elevator! Learn the right way!

[@scones007]

wow great stuff.Lots of good info.Well i got my notes and i am off to go flying,i hope i am as good of a student as you are a instructor.Thank you

[@TheMixedphat]

Thanks for taking the time to post these, great info and well produced. but that overlay does my head in being a mode 1 flyer.

[@zackcannon2985]

Hey Doc, Where did you get that awesome transmitter tray set up? I would love to have one for my dx7s!

[@bonedoc1]

If that's the case, then please take a look at the second video in the series. Hopefully that will help with the directional control. A left circle for a left roller is actually more dificult, so you might be ahead of the curve there.

[@MM-mk7gl]

I know this is over a decade old, but would you happen to know any maneuvers to practice doing to help with timing (for basic pilots)

[@dphotos007]

Nice flying. How much simulator time do you put in? Right now I use Areofly Been practicing with DW foamies. Takes lots and lots of practice to get good at this. I get frustrated at times trying to achieve a nice roll rate.

[@toocool4shoes]

great vid do you use any mixing when ya do your rolling harrier

[@Plydrms]

@bonedoc1 Wonderful stuff! My roll rate speeds up if I turn in the same direction as the aileron rolls. It seems easier to to circle opposite the direction of roll. Is this physics or just perception?

[@bonedoc1]

If you keep your roll rate high enough, you can do a pretty decent elevator or rudder only. But once you take it low and slow, then it'll start to barrel roll. So doing the whole stir is not a must, but it will make it look smooth.

[@786free1]

Whilst rolling (counter clockwise) are yiu supposed to give it elevator when the canopy is facing you and again when you see the bottom of the plane? Or is it just once every roll?

[@bigdieselredneck]

@bonedoc1 Where did you get your radio tray. I like that one

[@bonedoc1]

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I'm glad these videos have helped.

[@786free1]

How do I make the plane turn whilst rolling? Do I use the rudder or the elevator and when do I use this? I go left to right clockwise.

[@bonedoc1]

left circle means that your timing is behind (too slow). My guess is that after that, you'd soon drop your nose and the airplane starts aiming for the ground. Try speeding it up a bit. Aim to put your up elevator as the wing is just clearing perpendicular. Hope that helps. Josh

[@Rajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj]

Hi Josh, thanks for the reply. I can do clean rolling harriers with out any problem. i can even complete a full circle. the only problem is that the plane tends to circle left rather than right that's all. Raj

[@gaspasser22]

Thanks for the videos these are awesome. You da MAN!

[@Rajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj]

Hi mate, nice video! I need a bit of help with rolling Harrier please! When I do a left roll my plane tend to make a left circle rather than right! This seems to be the case how much ever I try! Please help! Many thanks, Raj

[@AlexBayes]

Great video hombre

[@daveconno]

Watched a few of your vids, really informative and will definitely help me improve, thanks! and subscribed :D I so wish 3dhs planes were available in the uk :(

[@theinel]

great clinic, unfortunately i'm flying in mode 4, aileron on left, rudder on right.. I hope one day some one make rolling harrier clinic foe mode 4

[@monkeyking114]

hi! Anybody knows where can I see this video with sound???? thanks in advance!

[@bonedoc1]

Sorry, been crazy busy since my move to England, so no flying even now :). but the basics are the same. What you need to do is to slow it down. Once you got that, then start doing it faster and faster until you finally nail it down. It's not that much more than that. Check out the Rolling Harrier 102 clinic for more detail :)

[@620ironwolf]

32 LBS????!!!! my dads ultra light airplane fuse weighs 36 LBS

[@yogician]

Awesome video thank you!

[@bonedoc1]

It has to do with the fact that you will begin to dip your head down, and thus picking up speed, increasing your roll rate in turn.

[@crazyflyboy30]

How can I @@@@@ with no sound

[@bonedoc1]

Sweet! Good job bro.

[@hadjnabil4811]

thank you lot's

[@bonedoc1]

This is all about timing. So separating the input is not very useful for learning timing.

[@brettlightfoot1802]

thanks~

[@michaelmorris5413]

that plane almost ate shit right before he said and fly low.

[@smokefathersbbq]

Never understand the pinching.

[@MatthewTaylor3]

Fullthrottle Turnnburn I'm used to pinching. I can't use my thumbs only. Pinching allows me to monitor my thumb movements with my index fingers

Ruined by copyright. Because the music would have made Doc sooooo much money? lol.

[@yi-tzaistoyreview4576]

ok. no one is talking about the elepant in the room. This is highly skilled. This is a skills game. however, skill is not fun. They are not the same thing. When you stripp down things to its bare essence . . . this is just a buzzing thing going buzz buzz. That is not fun. I am sorry to break to it you. You may have skills but you do not have a fun hobby, as it is a buzz buzz and flip and fliz. There is a very big difference between skill and fun. NO one is doubting you have skills. but there is no fun here. You want fun? try something that is engaging. thx.

[@martysk8r]

It is somewhat a 'participatory' sport in that only those who fly r/c want to learn more. You want to want to sit on the couch and watch a bunch of big dummies play kill-the-man-with-the-ball, grab each other, stick their hands between the guy's legs, etc... go ahead if that's fun for you.

[@yi-tzaistoyreview4576]

@@kyleroesler7057 fair enough. I used to fly rc glow fuel air plane and heli. I got rid of all of it ten years ago. Recently, I had the itch to start again. However, I have come to know myself. I get into a hobby and then the novelty will wear off. I have gone through scuba diving, RC, paint ball, poker, horse back riding, air soft, guns, biking. The novelty wears off. And if I restart a hobby such as RC or archery, as a repeat (Ie revisit an old hobby), the novelty will wear off very fast. So, instead, I watch a ton of vids to get the urge out of my system. It is called saturation therapy. If I over staturate myself with vids, I get over it. cheers.
