I think the forward stick is to counter gyro precession…is that correct Hitech?
That would be my guess, But I really never gave it much thought, has always been a move stick that way plane does this. Learning hammer heads was one of the strangest things for me to learn, Want to end up on my back many times. Then once if finally clicked , it was automatic.
Now the only trouble I have is when my thumb occasionally hits the up trim button on the top of the stick (I really hate its placement on my rv) and on the down line I end up with my elbow in my gut pushing the stick ahead while running the trim back down during recovery.
There used to not be a retaining pin holding the aft stick in place, You could just pull it out, which I always did and stowed when flying solo. Bob Shaw and I were out playing when I first got the RV. At this time I did not have the inverted oil installed so negative G's would make a big mess of the plane. Anyway bobs doing a hammer head and on the down line I feel my self bumping the straps, I say to bob, "Bob your on the negative side" nothing but silence "Bob your on the negative side" nothing but silence "Bob I got the plane" and I recover from the down line to vertical after which I say Bob what was that all about. Bob said "I'm sorry Dale, I was a little bit busy trying to shove the stick back in the hole".
