Yeah, I know about the need for coordination, and I'm working on it.... but it's not really instinctual yet. I haven't had a problem with it, however. The Cub is neat in that it's large enough and slow enough, you can SEE the opposite yaw when you don't do a coordinated turn.
Yeah, the disorientation sucks. The Cub is all yellow, but it's so big and slow I haven't had a problelm. I think with a Decathlon, the top of the wing is all red with the white startburst, and all white on the bottom, I shouldn't have a problem.
Whever I get to that Spitfire, I'm definitely putting invasion stripes on it!
How do the Decathlons really fly? When trying to figure out how slow it can land, I can't figure out how a symetrical airfoil affects it compared to a flat bottom, and factoring in wing loadings...
Some people have said they're really difficult because of the short coupling, but they say the same thing about the Cub, and I didn't have a problem. I've done a few ground loops, but no big deal.
