Question - I have zero agenda asking this, just curious - in the case of a completely free rudder, i.e. no control continuity at all, no bungee force, no cable or pedal friction, what would that control surface do in a spin? Would it depend on the a/c model and the exact maneuver (I suspect so)? Could it account for the behaviour in the video? Does anyone have any real world data? Wonkazoo, did you happen to have a camera pointed at your tail when your Event happened?
Curious non-aviation control systems engineer wants to know...
Thanks
