Blaine:   I can see this effect on a moderate sized glider where the plane has inertia, however what happens when using a DLG? I am trying to understand the observations we see when a light plane is used.  A DLG appears to be nearly at it's stall speed when rudder deflection is added.  Hence from a

From: Blaine Beron-Rawdon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There is a tendency for R/E models to pitch up when a turn is initiated due to gyroscopic precession... = Would it do any good to rake the rudder hinge line forward to counteract this? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Ai

Jay If you have a Xmitter that is capible of mixing keep the rudder on the right but use the left too. One of my friends does this and I find myself flying both sticks. So no matter what you do you have rudder Jeff On 8/1/06, clarence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The thing I found using one st

The thing I found using one stick is that you can feed in an input that would cut your performance, like a touch of down when you are wanting to give it rudder. The big thing you need to do is find out if two or one stick is better for you for control, I ended up going to two sticks and found t

Chris, That is VERY enlightening.  I had just discovered I needed my elevator in my turns once I have the ship banked.  I think I am going to return my rudder to my right stick.  It will make flying it easier.  And when I fly the aileron ships I will move it to the left side. Thanks again.. jayO

Hi Jay,   I have been flying my Photon 1 in the IHLGF for 4 years.  I have a Watson tailgroup on it (Spyderfoam/FG) which is close to the type the Photon II has.  I use alot of rudder throw and use the rudder for tight thermals, as well as using it for drag breaking and stalling.  You have to use
