Title: What plane has the best rudder control in AH?
Post by: Mathman on January 01, 2002, 03:08:00 PM: Just curious. F6F has pretty good rudder, though I would think the F4U has better (that thing is huge).

I dont fly the f4 1 basic I hate the way the rudder feels.

109s rudder is good. Especially when some is closing fast from hi 6.

I shove stick to upper right and slam full rudder. they shoot right by. Ofcourse I only do this when i need rtb cause it takes right out of the fight. But you can escape pretty that way.

F6F feels like a 190 rudder......

Wasn't a very clean aerodynamic design otherwise. The rudder is good too though, nice to tail glide when landing, blow all E very quick :)

Take a F4U-1 up, and do 200 knts., then kick that rudder over....something seems fishy with the -1 FM...you'll see what I mean when you try it...make sure to let the plane slow to its stall speed of 90 before re-correcting it to see what I mean...
