"Stewart Kissel" wrote in message ... 4)All sailplanes should have yaw strings. So what is the logic for no yaw string?...I had the occasion to fly in a private two seater once, that did not have one. Some logic I did not understand about using the T+B ball instead. What's the logic? You mean besides the fact that the string will just jump around randomly all the time? Unless, of course, you mount it on the INSIDE of the windscreen. Then, if you had a weight on it, would work pretty good as a heads up yaw indicator. But, of course, it would work opposite from a string mounted on the outside of a glider... And, on the third hand, it would work on the outside if you were flying a big daddy twin (excluding the Cessna Skymaster, of course). But since most of they guys that fly big daddy twins mostly started out in single engine spam cans, their bad habits are pretty much ingrained. Eh? jimk |
