WING OVERS: Make the climb at half throttle and do the turn at l/4th

throttle Turns easily either way

CUBAN EIGHTS: In any Cuban eight maneuver use large loops so that

the half rolls can be accurately placed at the intersections, use full aileron for
the rolls Ease off the elevator coming over the top before starting the roll Just

for fun, try two-point rolls with full top rudder in the Cuban eights

KNIFE EDGE: Enter from level fight and apply rudder simultaneously with

the quarter roll Hold full rudder The Nobler will not drop its nose or loose

altitude If you enter with a climb, the plane will climb throughout

SPINS: Due to the extra stability with flaps, use ailerons in the direction

of the spin The rate of rotation is not fast but can be controled with the ailerons

To regain n o r m a l flight release either or both rudder and elevator, recovery is

instant

LENCHEVICK: Nobler does it but it takes timing Enter from climbing

right (or l e f t ) t u r n at 45 degrees climb and bank Use f u l l throttle throughout

While c l i m b i n g m a k e left (or right) aileron/rudder/up-elevator snap roll so that
the plane is spinning and still going up After one good spin move elevator stick

to down position w h i l e maintaining rudder and aileron directions Plane will begin

to tumble a moment later The tumble is not necessarily head-over-tail but

probably diagonal After tumbling which is the desired maneuver, release the
sticks and recover If the stick positions are held, the model will exit the tumble

in an inverted spin

SNAP ROLLS: Use rudder and aileron together For inside snaps, use

left / left combinations but for outside or inverted snaps use left / right or

right / left combinations of rudder and ailerons Precision snaps can also be done
with Nobler, including half snaps

SIDE SLIPS: Rudder is powerful and fuselage offers plenty of side area

so the side slip is effective in checking a landing overshoot In flight, you

can do a flat turn by applying full rudder one way and keeping the wings level

with aileron Nobler will make a wide turn, looks strange, but works.

SQUARE AND TRIANGULAR LOOPS: Because of ths airfoil and flaps,

the Nobler is safe in "high G" maneuvers as at corners of square loops, top hat,

and triangles, etc There is no wobbling because of no tip stalling during high lift

demands On the decending side of the square-type maneuvers throttle back

to low speed The corner will be just as sharp as when going up at full

throttle

We wish you all the best of luck with your Nobler.
