Here’s an underappreciated fact: landing is mandatory! So let’s invest some time in “Ground School” to strengthen our academic knowledge of the forces at play. We will borrow concepts from full scale aviation but keep all of it relevant to our modeling world while learning what it means to successfully land...

Various opinions exist as to how subtrims affect servo travel, especially when used with dual servos on elevators. This discussion shows data that can help understand subtrims...

Are there other reasons, aside from tidiness, to use Sbus, especially in a pattern airplane? Probably...

Trimming an aerobatic aircraft is like learning the game of golf. When you first start out, the game seems fun...

This is the foundation of the problems with performance of the model versus the performance of the modeler trying to fly it...

Does it even matter? We each may have different criteria for making these measurements...

I recently received a couple emails from pilots with the same question, “How much differential do you recommend on a pattern plane?” My Answer? None!...

Snap rolls are interesting critters! Reaching consensus on just what they are often seems impossible...

Having an airplane that flies better than you is a special feeling. However, adjusting and improving the model and radio setup can sometimes be very confusing...

The following is an article written by Jason Arnold, an Australian F3A pilot and big supporter of our trim methodology. He has had great success with Triangulation Trimming...
