The Parachute

What it is: The Parachute is a vertical dive that instantly

decelerates in its descent as it instantaneously corners into

an Elevator.

Setup: Same as the Elevator, and the raised ailerons help in this

maneuver too.

How to do it: Start from about 400-500 feet straight and level,

chop throttle, and push the nose straight down. As soon as the

model is diving straight down at low throttle, add full up elevator.

If you do it right, the Extra will instantly transition from a vertical

dive to an Elevator.

Tip: Add a little throttle just after transition to an Elevator.

That’ll keep fuel going to the engine and keep it

from quitting.

Recovery: Simply add full power and reduce elevator to

transition into normal forward flight.

Advanced Recovery: Juggle the throttle to slowly lose altitude

and do a Harrier landing. The model will land on the rear of the

rudder first, then add a little power so it doesn’t smack the

landing gear too hard.

Worst way to mess up: To build up too much speed. This

maneuver has huge “WOW” factor, but just like a Blender, too

much speed and it over stresses the wing. Watch the speed.

The Wall

What it is: The Wall is a Parachute turned on end. The model

starts in normal level flight and suddenly corners nose up 90

degrees, as if it hit a wall.

Setup: Same as the Elevator, and the raised ailerons help in this

maneuver too.

How to do it: Start from about 100 feet straight and level, chop

throttle, and as the model begins to slow down, quickly pull full

up elevator. When the Extra corners to vertical, add full power

and release the up elevator.

Tip: Start a low speed and add power at the same time

that you begin to pull full up elevator.

Recovery: Simply release the elevator, go to full throttle, and fly

out upward.

Advanced Recovery: Juggle the throttle to sustain a hover

and transition into a Torque Roll.

Worst way to mess up: Don’t get the throttle in quickly

enough and the model falls backward.

Great combo: This has become one of my favorites to do with

the Extra. Takeoff normally, but as soon as the Extra is airborne,

chop the throttle and do the Wall, then transition into a Torque

Roll over the runway. Practice all of this stuff up high before you

try that.

I hope you enjoy your Extra as much as I do!

Happy Landings!
