When I started designing Pattern Aircraft
I was told the Stab had to be lowered to keep the airplane from pitching to the belly on Rudder( wrong)
I was told SSS was Causing the airplane to pitch to the Belly on left rudder, But right rudder ,,Not so much (wrong)
I was told down thrust was how you kept an airplane from pulling to the canopy in a verical up line (wrong)
I was told you can`t get the mix out of a airplane because the SSS put unequal pressures on the surfaces,you just have to live with it (wrong)
I was told Wide tall fuses would fly terribe in the wind(wrong)
I was told a heavy airplane flew better in the wind (wrong)
I was told the airplane had to be built with wing, stab set to zero (wrong)
I was told there is no way to perform a Knife edge loop with no Mix purley on rudder command (wrong)
I was told anhedral stabs countered too much dihedral in the wing (wrong)
I was told you had to run the C/G back around 35 % so the airplane used just a little down elevator (wrong)
I was told you need minimun of 2 degrees right thrust (wrong)
I was told to start out with 1.5 deg down thrust (wrong)
I was told a forward canopy rolled better (wrong)
I was told fixed gear were less drag than retracts (wrong)
I was told there had to be a left rudder mix at low throttle (wrong )
I was told you cannot use Sharp leading edges on your wings and stabs the airplanes would be pitchy in flight (wrong)
I was told you cannot use counter balances on ailerons (wrong)
I was told you had to run deferential on ailerons to roll axially (wrong)
I WAS TOLD ALL BIPES HAD TO HAVE THE WINGS AT DIFFERENT INC. NEG ON TOP POS ON BOTTOM (WRONG)
I WAS TOLD TO USE UP THRUST ON THE BIPE( WRONG)
I WAS TOLD TO GIVE UP ON THE BIPE (WRONG) the guy who told be that went back to it after seeing mine HAHA
i WAS TOLD BIPES WERE TO COMPLICATED TO HAVE NO MIX (WRONG)
I WAS TOLD TO BE COMPETITIVE TODAY I HAD TO GO TO ELECTRIC (WRONG) had to throw that one in LOL
