| Subject: | Zoodiac 601 HDS flying info |
Just some info on how my plane flyies which may be helpful.
Using the rudder for coordinating turns is different than any other plane I've
flown.
Since the rudder is a flying rudder it takes very little pressure to turn when
my airspeed is 80+ knts.
But at 80 knts and below the rudder takes very little pressure to use, and rudder
comes in quickly, too quiickly.
When using the rudder you have to be aware of your airspeed or you could get yourself
into a spin.
This causes concern when needing to land, turning in the pattern, slowing down,
and decending.
You may have to change rudder presure quickly, at the right time.
Other then that the plane is closely coupled, light on the ailerons, and has control
even at high decent ratesand slowing down.
Fly safe..

Just a question - I ran a string back from the stick to check the cable clearance.
The lower elevator cable seems to run awfully close to the aileron cable attachment
point on the back of the torque tube. For those of you who have your
ailerons hooked up, does the cable touch the torque tube when the stick is fully
deflected left? I'm just wondering if I need to move the hole in the fairlead
a little bit to the right to give more clearance?

Tim.
I know what you are saying. I had doubts myself when building. However, I
f you build it as it is designed, it will work. Because of the third dimen
sional movements of the cables, it is almost impossible to visualize or ana
lyze; but trust me, it will work.

I have an XL ready for 1st flt. and have read several comments about yaw stability.
As a long time sailplane pilot, I wonder if it would help to put a yaw string on
the canopy. I don't know haw the air currents over the canopy are, but the
"yaw string" (about 6" of yarn) taped to the fwd. canopy is an extremely sensitive
coordination indicator. Has anyone tried this to correct yaw? [Question]

Tim, some times those guys can be fun, though. Many , many years ago, I
belonged to the New Orleans Navy Aero Club. They had some planes at
Alvin Callender Field, and some at New Orleans Lakefront. It was
hilarious to watch some Navy hot stick with no tail dragger time jump
into a Luscombe, and snake-track a couple of miles from the tiedown to
the active, (100 yards) generally including at least one 360 degree
turn....

As a CFII myself, I second Patrick's suggestion that time in type (or
at least in similar aircraft) is more important than total hours. I
learned a long time ago not to be awed by the hour's in a guy's logbook.
I once had a high time Navy Top Gun Tomcat pilot almost kill me trying
to land a C172.
Let us know how it works out.
