How to Succeed as a 3D Pilot

[@SakkusMind]

Wonderful video! Love those!! :) I was wondering if you can recommend any model that's around 0.9-1.1m other than the Ultimate 3D which is capable of aerobatics or 3D

[@TwoBrosRC]

If you're willing to go 1.3m, the E-flite Extra 300 is a solid choice.

[@ryanyoung54]

One of my favourite vids! Keep’em comin!

[@mariospapa100]

Really the best training to 3d flying video ever made. B R A V O

[@Krash_fpv]

I'm o e of those people that inverted harrier was way easier to learn than regular harrier....I still prefer inverted to this day even after I got completely used to them both

[@Krash_fpv]

It's been far too long.....in my opinion this is where your channel shines ...I get it u have to do the whole review thing but this right here is why I started watching your channel at beginning

[@TwoBrosRC]

We don't have to review aircraft, we just enjoy doing it - and there's only so many 3D tutorials one can make. Though there's other subjects that can be covered too.

[@greg9210]

New subscriber Question, I have an inexpensive full size 3D foamy I dug up from 04 (typhoon 3D) I’m playing with and Is the prop supposed to be always spinning? Even if throttle is all the way down? Default settings and trim may be off

[@TwoBrosRC]

Yep, that's pretty normal.

[@morkshanmedia3998]

Superb video, thanks so much

[@johnd9357]

At 8:02 you say to knife edge spin with left aileron and full right rudder. However on the stick cam you’re holding left rudder. Is that a typo or am I missing something?

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's a typo. Left rudder. Watch the sticks, that's all that matters.

i have been flying for about 1,5 years on and of and i never used expo never really understood the reason why to use it so i have 0% expo and 125-to max travel on every surface and it works good with the planes i have - beach craft 1,5m valint 1,3m that i do the aerobatics witch hovering and other stuff . also have the cherokee 1,3m . but i think i will try expo just wondering if that will help me to get better at flaying i am not the best i learn every flight and i love it but some flight get me nervous and those flights are not the best . don’t have a lot of money so don’t whant to crash 😅

BTW, if you already have a spectrum transmitter, spend the $100 on RF Evolution. Best money I've spent since learning 3D. I use my NX8 with a usb cord.

[@militarydocumentariesinc.7007]

Had the 6.5s version then just grabbed the evolution myself. I used the spektrum wireless usb receiver. Great great great way to practice 3d and improve and develop skills for sure I agree.

[@sambuvca22]

how tight is the gimbal on the throttle side? i started making my throttle crunchy or tight in order to have good rudder authority. is this a good technique overall? thanks

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's at default tension. We never saw a reason to adjust it. Technique is only as good as your ability to put it into practice. If it works for you, it's a good technique!

[@michelpetrus]

Great video, love all the explanations about the difficulties of each maneuvers. It’s a great help to have flying buddies or club members that POSITIVELY push you out of your comfort zone, and blame you for doing circles. I know that for some, this could be stressful, and not all clubs have 3D pilots. 8:04 You say right rudder but it’s left rudder you are doing ?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Good catch on the rudder. We were up until 12a editing this vid and messed up there.

[@michelpetrus]

@@TwoBrosRC Thank you very much, for all your hard work.

[@yogeshdeshmature9216]

Thank you very much

[@dannyreiter3613]

This is an excellent video. Thanks so much for making it. On the Skybound RC podcast you mention some books you like about mindset and psychology. Would you mind sharing the titles of the books?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Hey, thanks! Do you recall what time stamp in the interview those books were mentioned?

[@dannyreiter3613]

@@TwoBrosRC This is from the transcipt. AI am referring you read up a lot on this topic. Though you dont expressly say it. “So I'm a huge fan of books. I mean, that's a stupid phrase. Who's not a fan of books? Okay, let me rephrase. I'm a fan of Dune. I love the Frank Herbert novels, even the Brian Herbert novels that some people trash because they're like, it's new Dune. It's not as good as the original. It's like, whatever. Brian Herbert is a literary masterpiece. Like everything he is, let me rephrase, Frank Herbert. I said Brian. Brian's work is good too, but Frank's work is amazing. And the litany against fear that the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood talks about where it's like, I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. That is very true. If you allow your fear to control you, you cannot do anything. You're paralyzed. And that's what happens in every horror movie. When somebody's scared, they just shut down, and then the monster gets them, right? And the only way to get through your fear and to improve yourself is both a pilot and in some ways, cases as a person, in my case especially, I became a much better person when I stopped letting anxiety[…]” From Skybound RC: Jon from Two Brothers RC - Highs and lows of KZbin and pushing the boundaries of rc models, Jun 24, 2024 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skybound-rc/id1693323253?i=1000660094815 This material may be protected by copyright.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Oh, right, yeah - Dune would be a must-read recommendation from me. It goes over a lot of psychological aspects, including fear and the effect that it has on a person.

[@bgblindt]

Do you adjust you throttle rates for 3D?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Nope - they're left completely linear.

[@EngineNoise305]

This is a good video, more of this would be nice. Something I’m realizing is the recovery is almost more important than the trick. I did snap rolls on my UMX TTE and it’s really predictable and slow, on my Umx air tractor it’s so fast I have to click on safe to recover

[@Cubanito_RC]

Ohhh... Excelente trabajo con el tutorial 🎉. Ojalá y hace un año me hubiera encontrado con este tutorial, la cantidad de detalles que explicas lo hacen único en internet. Ahora debo admitir que producto a la traducción de los subtítulos me perdí en la manera correcta de aplicar el acelerador en el rolling Harrier. Así que la pregunta es obligatoria. Cuándo es el momento adecuado para activar el acelerador mientras realizo el rolling Harrier?🤔 Llevo días y días practicando en el simulador pero se me resiste y se que aún no domino bien el acelerador😢. También quería preguntarte sobre como se logra hacer los giros en el rolling Harrier o sea realizarlo en círculos en ves de una línea recta. Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺 Sigue con estos excelentes videos. Gran trabajo 👌, felicidades

[@TwoBrosRC]

Watch the stick movements and you'll see the timing needed!

[@Cubanito_RC]

@@TwoBrosRC no logro apreciarlo.

[@tabdycollins]

Brilliant intro to 3D. Now you've whet everyone's appetite, i think it would be good if you followed up with videos concentrating on just a couple or three of the manouvres at a time, expanding on the problems, settings, solutions and common mustakes. This video was a good gallop through a lot of manouvres. Don't get me wrong, it was really good and late in coming. There is plenty of room for instructional videos for our hobby. Whether 3D or other aspects. Many thanks.

[@odwatchguy]

Great video John, lots of useful information even if you are like me and only looking for basic skills. I spent 20 years away from the hobby and now I am too old and cranky to try and learn the advanced stuff, but I enjoy watching those that are doing it.

[@edwardranno7119]

Been binge watching these vids

That's awesome to hear, man! Join us on Discord chat if you'd like: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord

You should buy a rv8 10e

[@TwoBrosRC]

At some point we might.

[@yodecaf]

Really well thought out and put together. I do like how you didnt tell anyone what plane to use but kept it general.

[@scottthompson2481]

Great video .........

[@TwoBrosRC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Great tips!! I'm still terrified of doing any of this with my only non-umx plane. But, maybe I'll test 'em out on the little guy to gain confidence. This video's going in my library for reference. Thanks 👍

[@TwoBrosRC]

Happy to help!

[@jeffworsham8240]

Thanks for making this video. Very helpful for us old guys learning this wild stuff!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@waynemiller6070]

Thanks John, As helpful or even more so than previous 3D videos you've made.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@erikshute7153]

Great video Jon! Very well explained time to go bust a move 😅
