Hmmm, sideslip issues on a VTOL jet in the hover, how unexpected....
I know it is a new year but we must not let that be an excuse to drop our standards.

I can think of no VSTOL aircraft that has a sideslip problem in the hover - but plenty that do during transition.

Airspeed dear boy - it is what brings aerodynamics into the act.
