The stick bangers thread

For me it is all in the ailerons. Full left rudder, full down elevator, and just a little right aileron. The more right aileron I ad, the more it wants to fall out of it.

This is with my edge mainly as seen in vid.....The EF104 does chit I thought I could never do!

about 9:46 in to the vid.

Great vid @49dimes. Nice to see LA again! Lord, when that camera fell on the ground I had visions of your bird doing the same.
Glad it landed in one piece!

I made a "make shift" "head gear" cam I called "shot in the head" and it harassed me all frigin flight!

My .02....Hold off on the throttle a little and add a little left aileron to keep from flattening out. Once you get it going you can add some throttle to speed it up. What kinda throw do you have on your elevators? That's what mine looked like on my slick at first and it took me a while to get it consistent...I also didn't have enough elevator throw and added a few degrees and that made a world of difference.

@49dimes , I think the seventh & ninth video from the top is the Knife Edge Spin.

I was thinking the same thing and the throws! Thanx!

Not to change the subject but I'd like some input on poptops. Mine always just kind of pop and don't spin at the top.

Your not changing the subject. This is exactly what I wanted in the thread.

Subscribed. My 104" slick does pop tops pretty good it's harder with my 89". I find drop the throttle hard right rudder full left aileron and down elev then right off the down elevator and add some throttle to really swing it around. I may be off on my inputs. I'm really trying to nail it. Nife edge spins for me is extreme elev throw lol. Hard rudder full down elev and ease into the throttle I use a little left aileron just to kick it side ways then hard left rudder and full down. My 92 " edge with go perfect sideways.

I must do my pop tops backwards. With some speed I pull to an up line then in one motion I cut throttle and go to left rudder while I input a little up elevator, roll the stick to right aileron to down elevator. It really flatens out and spins about 3 times then As it starts to fall I keep left rudder and down elevator in it, go to half throttle and it does a wicked ke spin. Terry thinks it should be my signature move and it turns out pretty cool.
