Elevator

Setup

3D rates


1. Drop the throttle to idle and sharply apply full up elevator and hold it. The plane will start to sink rapidly in a slightly level to nose high attitude.
2. As the plane descends, gradually increase the throttle jut enough to control the descent rate.
3. When you get down low simply let off of the elevator 1st and the ease in the throttle and fly away, or whatever.
If you dare you can land from an elevator. I have done it a million times with my 37% Ultimate but I will never do it with my Extra, Im afraid that the Graphtek Carbon Fiber gear won't holdup. All you do is let it sink vertically and ease in the throttle so that descent rate slows to all but a stop. The plane will be very slowly moving forward.
If you hit it just right you wont roll at all and the plane will just sit. It takes a lot of balls and practice to do it because if you screw up you can break your airplane, or at bare minimum break the prop and bend the landing gear. Dont ask me how I know that.
