- Page 22 Ex-treme 540 EX-TREME 330 3-D ARF The Harrier This maneuver has your plane in very slow forward flight in a nose high 45 degree attitude. To perform it, enter the same way as you would an elevator, then feed in power until the plane maintains altitude and starts to fly forward at a nose high attitude.
- Page 23 Ex-treme 540 EX-TREME 330 3-D ARF The Waterfall This maneuver has your plane flipping around the axis of the wing, while dropping. Starting from a high altitude, go to low throttle and gradually pull the nose up to near vertical. Just when the plane is about the stall, give it full down elevator and full power.
