![]() "BTIZ" wrote in message news:VSwod.131876$bk1.3469@fed1read05... and what is the published max demonstrated crosswind ?? less than 20knts in my guess.. It also depends on how you're loaded. As the CG moves back the rudder is working off a shorter arm in trying to pivot the airplane straight. With a more forward CG it's effectiveness will stay to a lower airspeed. The real bottom line is whether or not you can keep the nose straight with the amount of aileron needed to stay over the centerline. The max demonstrated number is a good guideline for your average pilot. For those that fly in areas of the country with high winds a lot of the time they get a little more skilled at handling the xw. |
