Hello Joe. Dan is right- the differential provides more drag on the down going wing in order to assist in the turn. So the up aileron on mine was 20deg and the down 10 degrees. Mac On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 7:46 PM, joe.kr2s.builder--- via KRnet < krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > > What I should h

What I should have said is that liniar travel is easy - i.e. 20 deg up and 20 deg down on the opposite side. I was actually thinking that the differential deflection had more to do with not having to use rudder for yaw I did not have full deflection and by the performance, I could not tell. H

KR> Fw: Re: aileron controls

I think you should have the geometry so that it maintains the 20/30 ratio. I think that is what it is, 20 down, 30 up? Anyway, whatever it is, that is what makes it an "aileron" plane, vs a "rudder" plane. On Thursday, December 11, 2014 2:46 PM, joe.kr2s.builder--- via KRnet wrote:

Not to start an argument, but I have to disagree ; ) How a prop works on a particular airplane is based on the amount of air moved (past the cowl, not smashing into it) and the velocity of that air. I have never been able to find a real reference to the ?large diameter prop=better climb? theory no
