RE: roll coupling on knife edge - problem
Dan,
I didn't think giving it negative dihedral was a good solution for me. I have a Four-star 60 that exhibits the same roll coupling but I assumed it was because it was a low wing and had a fair amount of dihedral.
I am surprised the edge does it tho. I am just training myself to compensate with the sticks to get it to behave better.
If I do a channel mix, then it will have adverse side effects when I do stall turns, and even giving it rudder on landing (we sometimes have a nasty crosswind).
Do the competition guys have it set by some switch so they only get the mix when they want it?
I have a 25e Hyperion Yak 55 that flies awesome. You roll it on edge, give it rudder and it just has a very slight pitch coupling.
