Hey Tony,many thanks for the video response,i believe that it will help the whole thing.....i will post the vid in FG and RCGroups when i find some free time,hope you have no problem.....Thanks and keep up the good work
The deal with your explanation i think is the wind force....that was something that i would like to mention in the future,actually the wind gives a better stability when you are doing the 3DCrawl because of the small angle that the plane must maintain to beat the wind force in front of it and keep moving towards......with no or a little bit wind arround the field,the plane must keep a bigger angle when trying the 3DCrawl maneuver because in any other cases the plane increases exponentially its speed and then you are not able to control the model very well.....

"Actually a light wind is better as it gives resistance which gives stability.Same when learning hovering/harrier.These maneuvers are actually harder to learn with zero wind!"
If anyone wants to try the 3DCrawl it is necessary to know the basic maneuvers(nose in/out high alpha harriers,hover spins etc....) that have been mentioned in the tutorial.I believe the appropriate model for the first attempts is a light weight depron with a good ratio of weight and power.That's perfect to achieve the lowest possible momentum for a better stability and ideal speed thats makes the control easier.....
Avoid to do the 3DCrawl in tail wind situations,cause of the unnecessary effects in the model's speed that i mentioned above....
For historical reasons i'd like to mention that this maneuver took its name accidentally when a neighbor of mine watched me doing an early-prototype version of 3DCrawl maneuver using a foamy Yak 55.He told me that the plane seems to be crawling like a swimmer in the pool....
That inspired me to do various permutations counted on the basic style of flying for a lot of hours.....
I was actually trying to put in test climbing spin combinations in many different directions,untill i realised that something is going to be borned here.
So there it is.....
Hope many people have good time with the 3DCrawl as i do..after this long period from the last summer that i demonstrated this maneuver for the first time,i have to say that it is not as easy as it seems.....i believe that i need a lot of personal practise till the perfection of 3DCrawl,so i could be able to have a chance with a bigger airframe that would be more difficult,but most impresive.....
Many wishes for having fun and safe flights from Greece!!!!
Thanks for reading.
