Skywalker V4 Mk2: Spin and Recovery

I almost lost my Skywalker today after making adding dual rates to my radio.  Originally I had 60% rates on both manual and stabilised flight modes, but I found on stabilised flight it was very sluggish, but perfect on manual.  So I set 100% throws on stabilised flight which as I found out is way too much.

 

A few minutes into the flight, on turning crosswind it went into a spin.  Probably induced by too much elevator and aileron.

  • Wow... good recovery. Most likely to much elevator IMO.

     

    Hopefully soon we will have some "Don" videos soon as the Sky Surfer nears completion!
