3rd DVD in Rays Hostetler series.In Volume 3, Ray takes his Raptor 50 (that’s never been flown) and has it flying far better than his ability in only three tanks of fuel. Watch all the basic flight trimming items such as blade tracking, gyro gain adjustments, and throttle hold; then see how a well-set-up machine (on the bench) blooms into a full-blown flying machine in the next two tanks of fuel! After viewing this disk, you’ll know the steps to follow from your first hover to advanced aerobatics, and you’ll know the major things to look for as you sequence through the flight trimming process.Scenes 1-9: Introduction • Range Check • Rate Mode for 1st Hover • Mixture, Cooling, & Idle Notes • No Start • First Start • First Hover & Trim Checks • Check Gyro Gain & Pirouette Rate • Rudd > Throttle MixScenes 10-18: Thro Hold, T/R Flat Pitch, Hov Autos • 100% RPM Check in Normal Flight Mode • Fine Tune Throttle Endpoints • 2nd Tank of Fuel • Straight-In & 180 Autos • 90% Throttle in FM 1 & 2 • FM 1 Vertical Ascent Check • Loops: Check Thro at Bottom of “V” Curve • Rolls: Check Ail > Thro MixScenes 19-26: Forced Intermission • Back to Trimming: Rolls • High Inverted Hover Check • Fore/Aft Tumbles: Elev > Thro Mix • Stall Turns • 3rd Tank of Fuel,1st Low Inverted Hover • 2nd Low Inverted Hover• Closing Remarks, Credits
