This came up in a conversation I had with Willie Wilson from
England. He stated that his KR will also drop a wing opposite
to the rudder being used. He attributed it to the 3 degrees of
wing washout. That was something I was going to test in my
first few hours of flight (hopefully soon) and see if I get the same
response. I'd be intrested to know if someone with a flying KR
that has not built in the full 3 degrees of washout get the same
response or not and how many KR flyers have noted this in
their flying KR. I don't remember now if he said what speeds
this happens at or if it was at all speeds.
By the way, Willie also said he didn't tell the inspectors that
his KR exibited this little trait as they might not be too happy
with it so let's keep this among KR builders and flyers. After
all, I don't think it has brought any KRs out of the air yet.
