Hi there, Its been a while since I have posted. Got married and had my honeymoon over the past few weeks so its all been going on! Good news...I'm still allowed to do RC!

Anyway. Since I bought my second plane (a T28 Trojan) a few months ago I have been really enjoying flying. I've hand launched, ground launched, flown in fields, flown at an airfield and even saw a hot air baloon taking off while I was flying at a local rugby club. But while flying yesterday (there was slight wind but I was patting myself on the back as the trojan flew by in a totally controlled manner) I thought to myself..."I never use the rudder". Now my last plane only had rudder so I obviously used it for all turning activities however with the T28 I do rolls, loops, eights and inverted but I rarely use the rudder. The more I thought about it the more I realised that in normal flight I never use it.

This made me wonder if I am missing out. I mean I could have purchased a plane that had no rudder, but I specifically didnt because I wanted "full controll".

Coming in for a landing I brought the plane around into the wind, lowered the throttle, corrected with a little airelon and landed nicely in the field. Exellent, another sucessful flight!


Let me know if you think I have stalled in my progression and need to start utilising the rudder to continue on the path to becomming an expert RC pilot.

Thanks
