RE: Composite-Arf 33% Gee Bee R2 - First Flight - Pics - Videos - L@@K
Jim,
I have mixed throttle/rudder per instructions such that at full throttle, rudder is deflected (right) at exact angle as molded-in vertical fin. As I throttle down to idle, rudder returns to neutral.
Have you found this to be at all close to what actual flight conditions require to offset P-factor??
I have also installed gyro on rudder as I have found this a helpful addition to any short-coupled airplane.
I agree that DA100 would have been sufficient power, but it appears my CARF R2 will need every bit of nose weight available via the DA150.
btw: Wayne Parrish reported his was clocked at 138 mph w/3W 120 on the nose.
