Bellancabatics...

Hee hee - I WUV my new Super Decathalon!!

Decided to put her through her paces; so I contacted ATC and set up an aerobatics box for 12:00-12:30 across Rwy 32, CYKF.

Throttling up for takeoff. Why the smoke? No reason... ;)

Great bit of flying there Staiduk, how are the rolling loops coming on?

Heh heh - Not too great so far, Ozzy; I'm finding aerobatics is FS9 are tough! With only 2 senses to work with and a very narrow field of view; picking up a spot and following lines is pretty difficult.

I use a CH Pro throttle; and reconfigured the thumbswitches for 'snap-to' views; up, down, back, left and right and set the pan rate to 1000 (IIRC) to help orientation but it's still easy to get lost.

At the moment; I've got the inside and outside loops, spins and inverted turns to where I want them; point rolls are ridiculously easy with this 'plane, currently working on tailslides, hammerheads, rolling loop and rolling turn - maybe I'll put up another 'bellancabatic' post in a couplea weeks. ;D

Of course; I'd be nice if I could do this in real-life; but where RL aviation is concerned; I'm a total chickensh** - spins and chandelles are about my limit. ;D

Cheers!
