Greg,

Getting close to an agreement here but the fullness
of the rudder - not just to straighten the string -
needs to be emphasised. How about:

'Full yaw corrective rudder (in the usual sense as
commanded by the yaw string)' ?


Sounds good to me.


The rudder affects the yaw aspect of a spin and not
(except by secondary effect ) the rolliing/autorotating
aspect so for us to have, all these years, decided
on which sense to move the yaw control by looking at
the roll axis direction has been workable but illogical.
