I understand that you just don't get what I am saying here and maybe you will eventually get to the skill level as an R/C pilot where you can understand. I think this thread has gotten way off topic. My efforts have been to just point out to beginners that full scale principals and techniques need not always be applied with our models. If it were then 3D flying would never have happened. From my viewpoint you seem to have the opinion that if it does not work for full scale then it won't work for models and that is just plain wrong.
Speed, I am not trying to argue with you, I am simply posting information on aerodynamics. If any of my posts are technically inaccurate please identify the errors?
Let me ask you a question. Do you have a full size pilot licence? How many hours do you have flying real aircraft?
No doubt you are an accomplished RC pilot with a wall full of trophies. But without any real flying experience in real aircraft, how do you know full scale aerodynamics and techniques don't work in RC aircraft?
You missed my point in mentioning Frise ailerons, The OP asked "What is adverse yaw" I explained it and also described ways it could be minimised in any aircraft, full size or models, IE Differential, (where I agreed with you) and Frise ailerons.
Sure you are right that not many RC models have Frise ailerons, but that does not negate the fact that they are a valid design feature to reduce adverse yaw. Again, am I technically incorrect in saying so?
Remember this is a beginners forum, how many beginners do you see on a typical weekend learning to fly in a perfectly set up aircraft with no roll / yaw coupling?
We are talking about learning the foundations correctly, once that knowledge is in place, then the pilots can experiment with aircraft and piloting techniques that expand the flight envelope beyond anything a real aircraft is capable of.
Not everybody is in this hobby to win 3D trophies, I know many RC pilots who only fly scale models and want to fly them as accurately as possible to the full size example. For them (and me) the biggest satisfaction in this hobby comes from watching scale models flying like a real aircraft.
