Michael Wargo How to Learn 3D episode 1 -"Basic maneuvers" 

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!

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

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

Thank you for taking the time to create this series

Thanks for this. Finallllllly 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

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

Great video, eagerly awaiting the next instalment

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.

Another great video Michael. Thanks!!!!

Michael, thank you for the advice in this video. Helps a lot!

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

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

That airframe is sick, love the transparent covering.

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!

excellent tutorial wish you were around when I was in the hobby the sim only teachers so much

Great job. Great video & plane is very nice.

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 :)

Thanks for the instruction...I may start venturing some into 3D flying.

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

You are my inspiration

You are a great Pilot. Where can I buy a plane like That. Is really Awesome.

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

Keep doing this !!! Awelsome video !

Thanks for explaining the expo. I always thought linear was the best, then I tried it on my sport cub s2 and it was a great experience. Would 30% expo be good for 3D?

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

getting my first 3D plane tomorrow...when you say 70% expo is that removing the first 30% ie -30% of the initial move of the stick is reduced by 70%? or reduced by 30%? Thanks

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.

Hi Micheal , i have an PA Addiction X and i love it and i am getting better at 3D and have just bought a PA Mini Katana and it is really tail heavy , so i have added nose weight but it is still very strange to fly , is it a lot different to fly the Addiction X and the other PA planes ?? I now its a difficult Question to answer , but any advice you could offer would be much appreciated . Many thanks , Scott .......

I am trying 3d flying , when i want to try hovering it will slow down good but it will wobble and just to hard to keep the plane level like yours in the movie . Any tips ? Flying with a Pz Extra 300

I wonder if you can do this with any RC plane?

Hello I am new to RC flight. I hope I am not jumping the gun because this is the first video I watched on 3D. I found throttle curve is very helpful to get me into a nice slow and smooth high alpha and I can bang the gimbal pretty hard without it looking choppy. 1st 25% of curve is from 0 - 90% and the last 75% is used for the remainder of the curve. I use a Spektrum NX8. And again I am new and probably have no idea what I'm doing. Do you guys use throttle curve? I think 3D flight will be my path more than sport. Thank you for the videos. Look forward to seeing them all.

Hey can you send me a link of where I can get this in the uk please??

Wanting a new transmitter but I'm stuck between the ix12 and nx10 spektrums which would you get? Also seen alot of reviews on radiomaster tx16s

Great video. Looking forward to watching the whole series. Where is that plane from? It seems hard to find 3d balsa planes anymore. At least I can't find a good source.

You're a Good Pilot because you know how to hold a steady throttle when you hover and harrier. Those who pump the throttle or Flex it as you say, is lack of skill. Have you ever seen a full-scale airplane pumping the throttle to hover or harrier? That's just bad practice to pump the throttle in an attempt to hold altitude.

Thanks so much

Hello. What is the model of this plane? I would love to buy an equal. He is very good for 3d. Does anyone know to answer me?

Micheal the expo on Spektrum DX 8 radio, will it be + expo or - expo? (it is different for JR and Futaba). Thnx just done my 1st 3d lesson (PA 260 Extra) with your video as help - the plane is still flying

Thank you for these videos. I have RF9 and have not had much luck learning 3D flying thus far. I have been using the Timber X because that is the closest plane I have to 3D. Am I on the wrong track?

Which plane is that? I want one

awsome

I do not use expo on throttle. Linear is best.

hello, I like your videos. where can i buy that plane?

What is te name of this airplane?

Beautiful flying am i right in thinking that plane hasnt got any arelons

Does it seem like they are flying very pretty helicopters?

If a plane wants to wing rock really badly in harrier, does that mean it’s just not suitable for this maneuver?

Whilst doing a rolling harrier how do u make the plane go around instead of just rolling in a straight line?

where can you buy this plane?

Mr Wargo, could you talk a little about the wings rocks, because I have a Profile 20cc that rocks it a lot! There are any tip for it ?

I did that and plane stall

One of the secretes...... is pitch for airspeed...... power for altitude.....

Do you have 60% expo on each control surface... Is expo needed on all control surfaces?

11:15 is where the flying demo begins.

Where is CG set? Tail heavy, nose heavy or neutral?

What is the Name of this plane?

A good areobatic airplane has to be more power than weight and over sized control surfaces.

4:40, no not having full travel doe NOT mean you’ve lost torque OR resolution. In fact, the opposite is true.

Full episode of elevator. Everyone got all of it in the first 30 seconds

Hi my friend Do you have instagram? I love your flight

how to contact you please?

you wouldnt want to hit one of those bulls!

70% elevatorr. Yea

you don't talk about center of gravity isn't that just as important! or are you just trying to sell a plane

not being mean but that plane is god damn ugly. THe edge 540 and the extra 300 are way better looking planes
