| |
| | Of course they have different references... visual references,

| |
| | 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

|
|
| Yep, you could, lamerboi.
