Status: offline 		Has anyone managed to fly a Knife Edge with an Avistar?

I've been trying but when I add enough aleron to correct for the roll coupling it's like I'm not giving any rudder input at all.

I've tried flat rudder turns but again with enough aleron input to fight the roll coupling it just keeps flying straight.

I say this because by your description, when doing rudder turns, you are straightening out the turn when adding opposite aileron to stop the roll which definitely indicates not enough rudder is being used or not enough throw in the rudder

Status: offline 		i'm able to do an OK knife edge into the wind w/max throws. But, flat turns are easy........the heardest part w/the avistar is keeping it level. It seems very sensitive when in a flat turn
