Manoeuvre help

[Phil.Griffin]

The Vortex is where, from knife-edge you hit full(ish) down elevator, do a 360 an continue on in the same direction you were originally headed. Daniel Holman has some excellent examples on one of his videos I've seen.

There are lots of examples of this around, I just can't remember where at the moment. Look at the video from 3:40-3:48. I think this is basically the maneuver you're speaking of? Sometimes it's done faster, or flatter, but it's my understanding that this is called a funnel hover. Not being an expert on any of this I may be wrong however.

Phil any idea on the inputs required for this ?

Unfortunately no. I've gotten into it by accident a few times, but haven't figured it out yet.

Ah ok. If I figure it out anytime soon, will let you know

It is just a tight inverted harrier turn. If you can turn while in an inverted harrier you can do this. Just use larger inputs to tighten up that turn.

Awesome..thanks!

Yes like a inverted harrier turn. Start with a invert harrier and peg right rudder full over and down elev and add full thur and use the ail to keep it from rolling out. You will have to work the ail mostly to the left. It works better to the right because most planes wanted to go the right while in invert harrier and you need to use left rud to keep it going straight so if you did it to the left it is more of a fight.

Genuine advice from a 3D slacker! He don't know what he is talking about!
