Eddie, (or anyone else with teh knowledge) I'm also curious about the turning characteristics of the Shark. I've encountered couple of times, when flying somewhat slow, under 100km/h, when the Kamov should be very agile turner in the yawing fashion due to it's coaxial rotors, but for some reason, I've yet been more or less unable to follow this kind of manouver. What I have noticed is that pulling some more collective with full rudder tends to accelerate the turning rate momentarily, but just a tad, so is there some fancy aerodynamics included which I don't know of, but would help me to tame this beast? :smilewink:
I'm currently unable to do any testing/practicing as I'm working a couple of days in a different town, and darn reading these forums are making me want to get a grip-of-it, or whatever's the saying =D
And one last note, by pitching the nose down, sort of dipping it during these what-should-be-fast turns also tends to hasten the turn, but then If I'm already five feet above ground, it isn't that recommended I suppose.. And I tend to keep the trimmer pushed during these manouvers, if not entirely pushing the whole yaw-channel out.. So, all in all, I'm a complete newbie to the aerodynamics of the helis, and the manouvers they are capable of, but it sure is he** of a fun to learn those, and therefore would like to have some insight from you pros!:pilotfly:
