RE: Perhaps the dumbest question of the month
Yea, I should have specified: I am hand launching. The only place I have to land/take off is a gravel driveway. It works with my 3 channel (big wheels) but my new 4 channel has tiny little wheels that just can't do the rocks, so I just took the gear off for now.
That's what I suspected, that rudder is used alot on the ground, and ads more control and smoothness in the air, but for now, I seem to be able to put the plane where I want it with no rudder, so I guess I'll fly this way for awhile and try to add in rudder as I get better.
Thanks
