Here's one benefit of a slider that I didn't hear mentioned: A slider can be opened during taxiing so you can tip your head to the side and see where you're going. I like my flopper, but I dislike the poor visibility for ground ops.... can't see past the engine!

My first experimental was an RV3 with a slider, that aircraft convinced me the slider is the only way to go.

I think it's called a rudder. However, while taxiing an AT-6 from the back seat, I was told to make long runs across the taxiway rather than short runs across the centerline. Something about looking like a drunkin' sailor. :-) Regards, Jim Ayers In a message dated 01/13/2005 6:45:52 AM Pacific Standard Time, VFrazier@usi.edu writes: I like my flopper, but I dislike the poor visibility for ground ops.... can't see past the engine!
