The first 3d flying I saw was Michael flying on fm radios. I was blown away at his precision in handling the plane. I don't really care for 3d flying, but I bot, and built one anyway. I like that it flies really slow, and can land within 2 feet. It teaches how to use throttle control. Does loops in a 4 foot space and knife edge loops. Michael is a great instructor and never seemed to get to recognition he deserved.

I just wanted to say thanks for your mention on using expo to help with 3d. I always thought you wanted the very quick reactions of non expo setups. But when I put 50% expo into my DW Foamies 48" Juka, I could hover like never before. All my maneuvers were much better and smoother. Thanks!

got to say I used to fly with my dad when I was young, im now 25, I found your videos and still had radio gear from before, old jr x347 and r700 reciever, I bought a dancing wings yak55 and built it, had my first flight in over 12 years and went really well considering how nervous I was. I can fly some more advanced 3d maneuvers on the sim but everything feels really different IRL. but felt really good to fly again after such a long time

Always great that you share your time and knowledge Michael!  Thanks for helping new people understand how 3D begins to work!

Thank you for taking the time to create this series

It is a very good explanation and talks slow for people that not speak english a lot. I can see it and understand what he means. Congratulations Michael. I should like one day to learn at least 1% of your skill.

Thanks for this. putting together a 3D plane tonight after putting off buying one for years (??). My first question for you I see was already your first comment about throttle expo. I fly freestyle racing drones and nobody likes expo on throttle except me it seems. I find that if you find just that perfect sweet spot it really opens up your throttle precision around hover for proximity flying. But I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I try my first harrier with the advice you have here.
Best regards,
Fred

That airframe is sick,   love the transparent covering.

Very helpful videos for those up getting into 3D flight from normal hobby / sport flying. Very well thought out and demonstration that is helpful

Thanks Mr  Wargo, you're like the Chuck Noriss of RC, you just kick ass

Thank you! I was watching this to learn how to do aerobatics on my 1.2 timber X

Great info I just built a 4ft 6inch foam board plane I haven't installed the servos yet and glad I didn't After watching this video I realized I would have made the control surfaces way to small which I know a high wing trainer type plane like I built I don't need giant surfaces I think I need to go bigger on the surfaces and work out the throws with the control horns and rates Thanks for the great tips I subbed

This looks so fun. I need to get into planes. I've been racing RC cars for a while. My grandfather did planes, but I never really got into it.

Awesome Video!   Very informative...  This guy is the real deal.  Pay attention RC Pilots!

Hi. Great video... I'm a beginner in aerobatics and I love flight my MX2 almost all weekends and publish my videos about what a I learn with him and all can learn too. It's a great Electric RC Airplane to do 3D for a beginner like me... Be welcome and again, thanks very much for this fantastic lesson, best regards!

Great video. A few things clicked in my dense brain that I was not understanding. Thank you.

Great video, eagerly awaiting the next instalment

you also may want to add that in harrier turns you move the rudder stick to the direction of the turn but you also counterbalance the inside wing stall by adding aileron in the direction opposite the turn :)
