Hi all, went up in a Eurofox taildragger on the weekend, great fun but man that rudder does not want to be ignored,with full flap the adverse yaw is something to be experienced, looking forward to putting a few more hour in it over the next few weeks!
just turns and stalls, with full flap the adverse yaw is incredible, it's definatly a rudder aircraft ,so touchy I had heaps of drama keeping it in balance.Actually found it easier to do balanced steep turns than 30degturns, Craig reckons it will take a bit to get used to .It will do the most aggressive side slip ,1500fpm desent, quicker than stallling it . Did a passable 3 pointer in pretty gusty crosswind (90 deg to the strip) going out again this weekend to do some circuits. Craig and I fill it up pretty much, not a lot of room to breathe! very nicely built airplane though.
taildraggers demand a pilot who is proactive...not reactive! ..if it ain't right...do something about it!
Hi All, Took these photos a couple of weekends ago at Lilydale, while checking out the An-2. Regards, Peter.
