Lomcevak

I thought it was quite comical that the Czechoslovakian word "Lomcevak" roughly means "cause of headache" in English!
 
And a Lomcevak is not just going nose over tail around a horizontal axis... check out the RF flight lessons if you want to see a real Lomcevak.

And this does give me a headache.

The RF lessons come close but do not illustrate the true head over heels in this maneuver. Try reading this article: http://jmrc.tripod.com/fa/aero/aero4.htm

I understand what a lomcevak is. My point of this post was to inquire if anyone has had success with this maneuver in stock RF aircraft. Sounds like mods are needed for correct control authority.

Thanks!
 
OK, I will accept that definition... a 3 axis tumble. I can accomplish it using less than full aileron with the Sbach 342...

"The classic Lomcevak is entered from a 45° up line, at cruise speed or below, with full throttle applied. To begin the maneuver, full right rudder is applied and held simultaneously with full left aileron and full down elevator. The response varies considerably from aircraft to aircraft, but the usual result is a graceful end-for-end tumble on all three control axes, finishing with the aircraft in an inverted spin."
