Default A taildragger incident today

John Gaquin:

Here's a bit of the bizarro - in the DC3 you can steer on the takeoff roll
with reverse aileron. They're so big, they drag a lot. Hard left aileron
will cause the right aileron drag to pull you right. That big rudder is
usually enough, so you'd only have to augment if you were looking at the
puckerbrush.


I love the DC3. Thanks for that additional info that I wasn't aware of.
