"Step on the Ball" reversed in some AC?
Hi,
I am studying aerospace engineering and also hold a commercial pilots license. Recently, a Prof tried to convince me that older racers with the cockpit far behind the CG would have a reversed indication on the inclinometer. This would mean stepping away from the ball to coordinate the turn. I can not really believe it since it is the resultant of the weight- and the centrifugal force vector that causes the ball to displace. Therefore it should no depend on the position of the instrument relative to the CG. Can anyone confirm this or convince me otherwise?
Thank you folks!
