| Yeah, right backpedaling boi.

| Bert, first time Little Luke took me up in his Velocity, he failed
| to inform me that the rudder system is different from conventional
| aircraft in both design and performance. In most aircraft the
| rudder pedals are interconnected. Pushing down on one rudder pedal
| causes a corresponding movement in the opposite (upward) direction
| of the other.

| LL says to me, let's slip this baby home. Taje the center stick."

| Uh, like first of all, I'm not LHanded. Then I find the rudder
| pedals. lol
|
| I was quick to note that the rudder pedals in the Velocity operate
| independent from each other,what I they failed to notice is that
| much of the sensory feedback with respect to rudder deployment is
| ****faced gone. Push one rudder pedal in the Velocity and the other
| remains motionless. Cessna and Piper pilots like me learn to rest
| both feet on the rudder pedals to get a feel for the rudder
| position. Transferring this habit to the Velocity invites a common
| mistake V the unintentional deployment of one (or both!) rudder(s)
| in flight.
|
| I passed the slip back to Little Puker.
|
| Yes, I've heard about this feature in that type of airplane. I'm
| going to get a chance to fly a Long Eze pretty soon and I believe it
| works the same way. You can use both together as a speed brake, yes?

| Do those fins deploy in only one direction -- ie,outward, or inward --
| and are spring loaded to neutral? Is the change in the airplane's axis
| pointing direction just caused by the drag increase when one side or
| the other is deployed? It looks to me almost like the way the MU
| aircraft used spoilers on top of the wings instead of ailerons (I
| think).
|
|
| Well, that's the way i understood it, but I've never flown one..

We could apparently write a book about things you have never ACTUALLY done.
