Well today I am flying the Durafly Excalibur V2. Even though the Durafly Excalibur V2 is easy to fly it is hard to film due to its sleek and minimal profile. It is like flying a knife. The Durafly Excalibur V2 may be hard to film and easy to fly but no matter what it is a great time to be had all around!

I had a great time flying this hotliner but my wonderful camera Lady had a hard time filming it.

When models don't want to come down, you can usually steepen your approach by lifting the nose instead of dipping it. That will increase your drag and slow your plane. I used to operate a sleek Cessna 210 from a short field, and "nose up to sink through" always worked like a charm. I did have an airspeed indicator and a stall warning, of course, which LOS models don't, but the same trick does work for models; I use it all the time. Angle of attack is our airspeed indicator then. Which is harder to read with high aspect ratio wings because of generally smaller angles, but it does work even on gliders, and still better on stubbier planforms. Happy flying!

So a kind of high alpha approach then?

@Videolinquency 9 месяцев назад

Exactly. It's called "getting behind the power curve". When you get below your best climb speed, the drag will be greater the slower you go, instead of vice versa, which is the case above your best climb speed.@@FatGuyFliesRC

BTW, I think American pilots use 'mushing" as a colloquial term for those high drag angles of attack close to full stall. Using them to lose altitude is sometimes described as 'mushing through', I think, but I'm not American. In my 1975 c210, that would occur below Vy at 90 mph and down to stall in the low sixties. It worked well, but do not experiment too close to the ground. Happy flying!@@FatGuyFliesRC
