This feature allows the pilot to not only view
prerecorded maneuvers, but also allows them to
record their own.
maneuvers, the pilot has the ability to select from a
number of different options such as fast forwarding,
rewinding, looping, speeding up, and slowing down
the recordings. These recordings may also be sent
to others via the Internet.
activate an on-screen transmitter to watch the stick
inputs for each pre-recorded maneuver.
The tendency of an airplane to yaw in the opposite
direction of the roll. For instance, when right aileron
is applied, the airplane yaws to the left, thus
opposing the turn. Adverse yaw is common in
trainer type airplanes having flat bottom wings. It is
most noticeable at slow speeds and high angles of
attack, such as during takeoffs and when stretching
a landing approach. Caused by the unequal drag of
the upward and downward deflection of the
ailerons, this undesirable trait can be minimized by
setting up the ailerons with Differential Throw or
by coordinating the turns, using the aileron and
rudder controls simultaneously.
Hinged control surfaces located on the trailing edge
of the wing, one on each side, used to provide
control of the airplane about the roll axis. The
control direction is often confusing to first time
modelers. For a right roll or turn, the right hand
aileron moves upward and the left hand aileron
moves downward. The movements are reversed
for a left roll or turn.
A surface (such as a wing or propeller blade) with a
shape that produces a force perpendicular to its
motion called lift.
A term used to describe the general components of
an aircraft when using RealFlight 7's AccuModel
aircraft editor. For example, selecting the airframe
will call up the fuselage, wing(s), and tail of an
airplane.
