Hi Noggin,
That`s what I thought - if the plane is out of balance the drag will be worse!
Sorry to harp on...but I want to get this straight.
Say you were flying a heading of 360. There is a strong, steady wind from 090. Presumably, your tail will be pushed to the `left` as it offers more resistance to the wind. In that case, seeing as you can`t alter the trim tab in flight (on the planes I fly), you would have to suffer the results of continued use of the left foot. Is that correct?
cheers
