Title: Rudder turn in AH
Post by: Elp on March 21, 2000, 04:31:00 AM

In a rudder turn, we try to turn the plane whitout rolling at all, using the rudder. Whit 109, for instance, if I try a rudder turn to the right at 150-170 mph, no problem. But if I try to the rudder turn to the left, the plane roll by itself no matter how opposite airelon I apply. Is Corsair or 109 incapable to rudder turn left or what I am doing wrong?

You are experiencing two things; drag from the rudder input is reducing your speed, and the torque from the engine is rolling the plane. Once the plane slows down too much, there isn't enough aileron authority to keep the plane upright.

These planes aren't designed to be turned by the rudder in that manner.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
