If your lines go slack in the wingover, you need to realize that something is not quite right and fix it.



That was actually the point I was trying to make, Jim. A fix for a particular problem could possobly be rudder offset...or maybe engine offset. Line tension problems are not always cured by lead-out position...although, admittedly, that IS the cure a lot of the time.

The thing is, rudder (offset or not) is not always needed or wanted on some planes, but when used correctly, it is effective.
