Default RE: Rudder - so different between models


ORIGINAL: HighPlains



A model is more sensitive to rudder input the slower it flys. Thecenter of gravity balance pointalso tends to make a model more touchy to rudder as the balance is moved back. However, with your C182, it sounds like it may be rather underpowered, slightly tail heavy and perhaps too much rudder.</p>
Well, I think you are spot on there, HP. ItIS underpowered, and I also think it is tailheavy and set for too much rudder.

Thanks for the input, you have made me confident that my suspiscions are correct.

I will try to correct things, and "report" back.
