How to fly 3D like a pro: Rifle rolls (tx camera)

In this episode Juan Sanchez shows you how to learn rifle rolls, starting from the basics of slow and point rolls all the way to the ultra-fast roll rates.

The airplanes used in the video are an Extreme Flight 67" Extra 260 and an Extreme Flight 105" Slick V2.

Extra 260 surface travel and exponentials:
Ailerons: 36 degrees. Expo: 55%
Elevator: 55 degrees. Expo 65%
Rudder: 45 degrees. Expo 55%

105" Slick surface travel and exponentials:
Ailerons: 38 degrees. Expo: 55%
Elevator: 55 degrees. Expo 65%
Rudder: 42 degrees. Expo 55%

Ive been practicing rifle rolls. I can only go in a straight line at the moment and 2/3 aileron travel. It will take a lot of practice but eventually i will get there. Great Vid

Excellent video! no stupid music interruptions, very good graphics, cleanly explained. New sub! Thank you!

Nice tutorial Juan! I like the recommendation to build it up gradually from slower roll rates and increase as you gain confidence!

Great vid we'll explained bud. I am not at rifle rolls yet still at slow rolls lol but I still think I learned a lot from this as it all ties in together ❤❤❤new supporter here bud 👌🏼

Additionally... as the roll rates are increased, the need to "Anticipate" the input increases... there is a latency between the input on the sticks and the servo moving it is very small with good fast servos... but it isn't zero.... Also: Same inputs as Harrier rolls... so learn Harrier rolls... and then reduce aircraft body angle and increase speed....

Very informative brother . Keep making more pla

Thank you Mr Juan. I recently started loving the fixed wing rc hobby. Is there a modern flight simulator for 3d acrobatics planes like in this video ? Just like fpv guys have lift off simulator or Feel fpv simulator !

The ones i found for fixed wing are old amd difficult to downoad or buy ?

Thank you for the video. I’m going to give this a go!

Hi Juan, when doing turns do you use the undercarriage as your reference for inputs and are you keeping the inputs the same or are you giving increased rudder at the points where the wings are level to make turns? Got the hang of straight rifle rolls but turning in the opposite direction to the roll is proving difficult. Love your tutorials and channel by the way! Cheers :)

Thank you for all the informational videos that you post, quick question. I can only fly on Real Flight as the funds do not allow me to get back into the hobby just yet, I built up the rifle rolls to where I'm back at the full throws, but when starting to try to turn either full 360 or just 90 degree turn the plane likes to climb up. How do I help combat that? Give less rudder input and more elevator for the turn? or do you turn the rifle roll with the rudder while keeping plane up with elevator or control the altitude with the throttle kind of like post stall maneuvers?
Thanks for the help!

How does wind effect rifle rolls? I've got harrier rolls and rolling circles but speeding up the roll always gets my nerves jittering a little more lol

😮... Definitivamente si que subiste el nivel de las maniobras en los tutoriales drásticamente 😅.
A ocasiones la practico en el simulador con la velocidad física dismiuida drásticamente, pero aún no son suficientes las prácticas.

Tengo una pregunta, qué recomiendas aprender primero, rolling harrier o rifle roll?

Y otra más 😅, cuál es la lógica en la traducción al español de las palabras rifle roll? Jajajaja

Great video. What airplane are you using in realflight . Thank you
