G'day

If your Super Decathlon is anything like my Super Decathlon then you are going to learn about the rudder (if you don't already know). My Decathlon needs proper coordinated turns (rudder, elevator and aileron) or it just wanders off on its own especially on landing when at low speed the ailerons are no longer powerful enough to yaw it.

I am not a good rudder user so for landing I have set up an aileron to rudder mix and this works perfectly.

Meanwhile I am trying to learn to use the rudder properly on a modified tail dragger Kadet Senior with reduced dihedral and barn door ailerons.

Cheers.
