Thanks for everyones input. Our group was discussing flying in VFR only (no IMC or IFR) and wing leveler only with respect to roll sensitivity of lightly wing loaded, short wing spanned experimentals. Trying to make summer flying in chop somewhat easier. We didn't plan on turning over controls to the device and would still keep a light grip on the stick; just wouldn't have to constantly play the stick. Although we had the impression that a heavier plane would be more stable in chop and require less than continual input by stick, that wasn't much of an option G. Although not discussed among us, I wonder if an increased dihedral result is possible without actually increasing it physically.. Still would appreciate a little discussion that I can pass on for the next non-flying day. Thanks, Dick My Jungster II has zero dihedral, but 15° of sweepback. The wing loading is about 13 lb per sq. ft. It is quite stable in moderate turbulence. While it can be upset it returns to level flight with very little input. That probably won't solve your problem, but it is another factor. Ed Sullivan |
