RE: Coupling question
Here's a question. What reference line are you using to set zero downthrust? Is it a line drawn on the fuse? Is it compared to the wing incidence? Or the stab incidence?
The Contra does make those opposite rolls very easy. The symmetry of the model is so much better with it. No difference in right or left rolls or snaps. Stall turns are the same. It's just a significant improvement.
