Default RE: The Eyeball?


ORIGINAL: tommy s

I flew an Art Schroeder Eyeball in AMA pattern in the late '70s and it is a very good flying
airplane. The original had a built up rib wing and could be built very light. The only trim issue
I had with mine was some roll coupling with rudder which could be programmed out easily
with todays radios. It was very fast but could be slowed to a crawl for landings. You'll like it.

Hey Tommy, do you remember which way it roll coupled? I'm guessing it roll coupled in the same direction as the rudder application? Meaning it wanted to roll out of KE? I was looking at this plane on Eureka's website, kinda neat, and different looking. The Roll coupling issue could easily be corrected, that's a dihedral issue, probably too much with that mid wing up on the thrust-line.
