Hi
rudderrudderrat,
But the RH down going aileron would present more drag to the forward aircraft direction and induce a turn to the right, effectively "the wrong way".
Yes, and that is exactly what I had concluded ...
From
Post #219 ... This lead me to looking at the Inner Aileron traces, and I believe that the RH Inner Aileron when down was effectively creating drag, whereas the LH Inner Aileron when up was in the wake vortex and ineffectual. This drag on the right was causing yaw ...
Owain Glyndwr;
Many thanks for sharing your experience in this debate.
I've seen this before - in my youth we tested a free flight model which had this roll oscillation and even when we cut the complete fin off it simply wallowed in a straight line with no spiral divergence
Maybe just a case where the overall drag and the wake vortex conspire to provide a stable outcome.
