Re: [RCSE] tip aileron theory (was 6 servo+stylus)

Good full-scale practice, once centered in the thermal, is to simply check whether the thermal has a much faster core by making tighter coordinated turns (obviously with steeper bank angle) for a couple of turns and see if the variometer indicates a higher rate of ascent. If so, try turning even t

Pat, Any chance of viewing the video footage of your high speed DS impact? Dave PS. If anyone is interested I have some Quicktime movies of a bumpy DS session a few of us had yesterday evening. Conditions weren't ideal but still got some circuits in. http://homepage.mac.com/hotwings/ Aucklan

RE: [RCSE] tip aileron theory (was 6 servo+stylus)

Don's explanation of using crossed controls and what happens then seems satifactory to me; as I understand it, he used crossed controls in some aircraft to make a coordinated turn. How about the original point Daryl made: the use of anybody wanting to fly a flatter turn (cross-controlling would be

RE: [RCSE] tip aileron theory (was 6 servo+stylus)

A comment from the scale sailplane arena: A flat turn as opposed to a steeply banked turn simply put, keeps a larger "footprint" or projected wing area pointed at the lift which we all know is going up. If your in a large area of strong lift it doesn't matter much either way. I always use the shal
