RE: My plane experiences snaking
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your suggestion.
But I think that if you add weight to the rudder, on the TE or on the LE, the problem will worsen because it is the moment of inertia that counts, remember the rudder rotates about its hinges.
So in any case the rudder will feel "heavy", in a rotational point of view.
I discovered that I have too muchdeflection on my rudder. I fly with only 50% (dual rates). I found also that I have 1 inch of slack.
So I will start by that: reduce the throw and get rid of the slack/compliance, like your customer did on hisMig 29.
I will test this mod weather permitting.
