25.2k A5mod3us@Scriefers I don't know how I managed to nail that yaw control either. It just sort of came out that way. Happy accident I guess.9.6 years ago

25.5k ScriefersI'm thoroughly impressed with this plane, @A5mod3us. It has really tight control. There's absolutely no wobbling or fishtailing after performing turns and pitching. There isn't even any snapback when releasing a yaw turn! I don't know how you did that. Yaw control is very difficult to get right and is often under utilized.9.6 years ago
