djpacro Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 "Of the 3 primary airplane flight controls, pitch, roll and yaw: yaw control is the least understood and least utilized. But yaw control is primary to tame stalls, prevent spins, keep tailwheel airplanes going straight during takeoff and landing, and a whole host of other maneuvers."

Bandit12 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 You are absolutely spot on DJ - it never ceases to amaze me how little the rudder gets used. GA trainers may as well almost be Ercoupes for the amount of use that the rudders get. I will endeavour to register for this one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naremman Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Whats a rudder? If you fly an Auster you have probably got a fair idea Louis, or failing that you would have an Auster with the most gravel rashed wingtips going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Just refer to her as " the boss" and you'll be close. Sometimes the rudder can be the "boss" of a situation. There are people who wouldn't know if it was disconnected. What do we do? Make a T/W endorsement compulsory? It was, when there were no tricycle U/C planes about. nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis' Auster doesn't have a rudder so I can understand him not knowing what a rudder is. Louis - that photo you posted of your lounge room some time ago - have you still got that thing that was next to the Pittspanner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably dig out of the pile of mess it is under, but how do I know where it put it DJ? It's not like it has left a giant hole on the back of the plane!!!! If you fly an Auster you have probably got a fair idea Louis, or failing that you would have an Auster with the most gravel rashed wingtips going! I tell everyone it is hangar rash caused by previous owners! and whats a bit more dihedral between friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
