"Hard" as in full rudder deflection from level flight causes a relatively fast nose down move ( I'll have to try this inverted next time too), as if I had pushed the nose down purposely at full deflection.
My Ultimates pull toward the belly too ( and they also roll a bit ), but I can easily compensate with a little up elevator and aileron.
The Skybolt surprised me as I cannot hold a knife edge on it at all.... and I have no problem doing so with most planes even when they have a high dihedral such as my Spacewalker II.
opjose,
Actually I was wondering how hard it tucked. Mine was pretty awful. Fairly hard. Roll was just as hard.
And I don't have my TX up here to check, but I fairly certain my percentage of elevator trim is 8% but I'm pretty sure the aileron percentage is also 8%. No idea why they would be half what trixer needed. Ohhhh wait.....
You know what. You remember the discussion about aileron rigging for the Ultimate? Bet you do. Well, my Skybolt is rigged the same. And the ailerons work in unison not at different rates of deflection. I'll be darned. That's basically an indication of the value of rigging the ailerons to work in sync, not basically skewed. How bout dat...... I'll bet nobody could tell anything about the way the two different airplanes fly, but there is obviously some difference. Kewl.....
Remember the rigging deal? Picture shows the Skybolt's.
