Default RE: Valiant By Bryan Hebert (First Flight)

Hi Bryan,

Interesting trim notes for sure. Its not often that one plane gets 3 different trim devices back to back. Did you try a knife edge loop with each configuration? I ask this because with today's fuselage volumes, the "mix" needed for only knife-edge flight is often very different that that needed for higher rudder inputs. The knife edge loop gets to check higher rudder input, power-on, power-almost-off. If so, what was the effect of each device? great notes.
Thanks,
Jim
