I've been flying RC planes for over a decade, but I really don't know the difference between a barrel roll, a rifle roll, and a snap roll. I just call them all "rolls" to make life simple. If there is a difference, cane someone please educate me? Very informative video by the way. Thanks.

@@larrylaitner3473 Axial roll, or aileron roll: plane rotates or rolls about its longitudinal axis while maintaining a very nearly straight line of flight. Barrel roll: plane flies a spiral pattern centered on its line of flight, which is usually horizontal. When viewed from behind, the plane appears to travel around the surface of a barrel. Snap roll: An aggressive, high energy maneuver in which the plane very quickly "snaps" into an uncoordinated mode of flight which may have one wing stalled. It has been described as a spin along a horizontal flight line. Control inputs may consist of just elevator and aileron, or elevator, aileron, and rudder. A snap roll is not as precisely defined as the axial roll and barrel roll.

I used to do snap rolls in a (full sized) Bellanca Citabria. As I recall, the inputs were: quickly full up elevator (back stick) and at the same time slam full rudder in the desired direction. That would stall the wing corresponding with the rudder direction and the opposite (outside) wing- still flying - would snap the plane around very aggressively. To recover: when half way around (inverted), quickly reverse the inputs - opposite rudder and stick forward - and by the time you were upright, the plane would recover, allowing controls to be neutral. Timing might be different with different aircraft, but that’s the gist. A stunt pilot gave me ride in a Pitts S2a, and a snap roll in that thing was truly violent.

Sounds fun. I never made a snap roll in a full scale aircraft - a C210 or a light twin would probably not appreciate that, at least their gyros wouldn't. But in RC, I'm pretty sure I add some aileron to snaps to increase my roll rate. Maybe that's not so smart after all, as an upturned aileron will effectively reduce that wing's angle of attack and consequently fight the stall we're after.@@anguscampbell9311

Most servos stop working long before the receiver system voltage reaches the lower operating threshold of the receiver which is 3.5V for most receivers now in production. You most likely had a full signal with the plane but servos incapable of doing what they are told. That 5V 2A BEC in that cheap ESC is marginally able to power the servos on the ground let alone in the air with aerodynamic loads on them. Lesson to learn don’t under power your control system, power your receiver and servos appropriately.

Cool and interesting video buddy ! Thanks for these info

"brownout is a loss of control specifically caused by a receiver voltage sagging due to your Rat's Nest of cables, old and terrible receiver battery, weak sauce BEC or your 39 Cent Alibaba switch being incapable of powering the circles or receiver" Nah, that is just one part of what it can be. Brownout simply and specifically means voltage-sagging below the specified operation level. That can have many other reasons like you just flying too long, the battery getting too hot, having a shared battery for motor, receiver and servos and no BEC (that has not been that uncommon), a motor that draws too high spike currents for the circuit etc. Specially with early generation digital receivers getting a brownout was fatal: The digital logic could hang up during a brownout and would not recover until fully disconnected from the supply-voltage. This happened a lot when people just upgraded from analog to digital - first long flight in nice weather, flying nearly as long as the battery can handle, and during the landing-approach with higher loads from the servos the receiver would brownout and the plane crash. Good receivers have brownout protection/recovery, and better yet would be a fully redundant receiver power supply. And i mean there can always be unforeseen circumstances: Some of the digital servos would stay in the last received position of the control-signal would drop. So everything is fine, a small gust of wind and you gotta use rudder/ailerons for a short time at max deflection - and you crashed. The sudden increase in powerdraw from the servos working against the wind caused the voltage to just sagg enough to brown-out the controller, so now the signal is lost and the servors keep drawing full current and thus keep the voltage low.

To make matters even worse, Beta is also correctly used to indicate a case where the power lever is primarily controlling pitch rather than power, typically used at low thrust conditions where the throttle response of a turboprop is unusually slow so pitch is adjusted instead and the inertia of the prop is used to add thrust while the engine power catches up, This range also includes the braking/reverse thrust regime on turboprop aircraft so equipped. It's often incorrectly also used for reverse thrust (which is in the beta regime, but not the only part of it)

We have a few on our field that are made up. “Marked It” we have a guy on the field that is named Mark. He crashes very often and usually leaves a 3 inch crater in the field where a plane went full speed into the ground. Leaving marks and scars on the field. When someone else does it other than mark, we say “Marked it!” “Wack!” Is actually a term used in hang gliders, when a glider is landing and crashes by having the nose of the glider hits the ground. Everyone shouts “wack!” Same thing for Rc planes that are tail draggers. When the nose smacks the ground, we will all yell “wack!” “Going for pizza” is when a aircraft overshoots the runway and lands on the taller grass. I don’t know why it has to do anything with going for pizza but it’s used at the field and I’ve never questioned about it. “Walk of shame” is when a aircraft flips, wacks or gets stuck in or by the runway and a individual has to walk out on the runway in front of everyone to retrieve their airplane.

The next time you journey by air in one of those oversized, people-carrying models, remember that aircraft do not park on the tarmac. They park on an apron. Tarmac != apron! Tarmac is an old road paving system made by coating crushed gravel (macadam) with tar. If you overhear some father explain to his kid that their aircraft is ready on the tarmac, make sure to give him the correct term to use. He'll thank you for it, that's for sure! 🙂

Vids like this are why I subbed/liked!

Great Video! The terminology slang can get folks confused quick. Just a note at 6:57 , Boeing recommends landing in a crab in high crosswinds to avoid dragging an engine across the runway:) The 757 actually has a 40 knot crosswind landing limit! I have had to do this many times in the 757 to avoid scraping metal:). While it is correct to have your tires parallel to the runway at touchdown, its actually a necessity to land in a crab in many planes with under-wing mounted engines. Boeing has designed the gear to take that abuse & landing the plane in a crab saves you a trip to the Chief pilots office:) That was actually a excellent example of a crab landing in high winds in a 757... having a wet runway helps a lot when you have to perform this kind of landing! Also, the deep stall encountered with the FMS 64mm Rafale is somewhat exacerbated by the fact that the canards don't move as they do in the full scale or 80mm version, so there's no way to unload the nose to get it out of the stalled condition:) To be more correct regarding terminology, I prefer to use the terms "forward CG" and "aft CG" instead of "Nose Heavy" and "Tail Heavy." For many, the terms "Nose Heavy" and "Tail Heavy" seem to be perceived as the CG not being in a reasonably flyable position which is often true. Keep the great videos coming:)

@TailHeavyProductions

Thanks! Oh yeah, totally aware on that one - we just needed a good example of what side loading looks like and despite proper procedure being a crab with the 757, the side load shown in that video made the concept we were discussing much easier to grasp from a visual standpoint. Rafale wise - regardless of the canards being fixed or not, it was a usable visual for what deep stalls look like which is why we used it. As for CG terms - pick your poison there. Both are acceptable. :-) Thanks for watching! 😀

Have you covered Tip Stall? One of my favourites. Don't know why the grumpy old modellers want to argue this with the 20 year aerobatic pilot and flying instructor, but it's fun! They get the idea i.e. know the wing has stalled more at the tip than the root. But they miss the little details.

They are Confusing Perceptual SPEED i.e. GROUND SPEED actual speed across the ground Papering to be TOO SLOW. While the RELITIVE WIND over the wings is the same no mater if in a HEAD Wind or No wind or a Tail Wind Condition. They just believe it's too slow.
