remko 0 #1 January 23, 2006 I know you can fling around a 2-stack almost like flying solo doing rotations and the like (that's a lot of fun), but the other day I thought about changing the characteristics of a 2-way to do the maneuvering. A stack is sinkier and faster than a bi-plane. Here's what we did... First we build a simple 4-stack. #4 planes up into #3, then #2 drops the grip on #3. #3 moves his bi-plane out to the side and floats up on the 2-stack. Then transitions back to a stack and #1 docks on it. Sounds easy? Try it! Some tips. The bottom of the plane should `fly' it with rear risers throughout the whole maneuver. The timing of when to drop back in a stack is important. Don't go too high. The stack is not only sinkier but also faster. This can be solved by slowly turning away from it, or they have to slow it down with brakes but then they loose some of the sink as well. Somewhere during the maneuvering #3 looses sight of #1 so he will have to go on heading. Stay close! After two of these do a singleton rotation so the others can pilot one as well. Have fun! -- Everything you know is wrong. But some of it is a useful first approximation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
