| 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.

Yep, you could, lamerboi.

Who's that "we" again, BTW?
