Flying a glider will make you a better pilot.

Refers to actual flying.... Just use the correct amount of rudder input for your set up to keep the nose aligned with the longitudinal axis. My controller is CH pedals, throttle, and combatstick. I just plugged them in and did not change any axis.

Well, weight the catch and stay legal!!

:thumbup: This is exactly why I made the tracks. When I was a CFI I had students in the real world, including some very experienced pilots, who did not understand it until it was demonstrated in the air. Done correctly, you can really feel the difference and after a while, can do it with rudder feel alone given enough experience in the type aircraft. There is no sloppy side forces in the bank.

Is this a fishing trip? It sounds like it.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Development of the Dora had to do with improving the high altitude performance of the FW-190 series, though.

That video lacks aerodynamic forces and only shows the mechanical advantage.

Unless the trim is electric and on the control stick/yoke.... All pilots have to use one hand to trim and other to hold the controls. :smilewink:

Correct

Just because you do not understand the issue does not mean it does not exist Fredrick.

Ok, then the instability was never fixed. There were no design changes to move the AC and the stability Margin of the Mk IX remained the same as the Mk V.

:doh: Still insisting you are right?

Really...so your misunderstanding trumps the actual definitions of these three different things. :music_whistling: No wonder you think you are right.

Neutral trim, zero trim on the datum, and trimmed for climb are three different things. They are different things with specific definitions. Please understand what the heck you are talking about before you give me negative reputation for something you do not know. Just own your mistake like an adult...thank you.

This English translation of the Bf-109 Flugzeugen Handbuch says the trim is set to +1 for take off. http://www.virtualpilots.fi/hist/pdf/bf109g2_english.zip

It is two different things jcomm and they are being confused.

BTW, the sight should eventually come back once the turn is established and the gyro settles down.

YES. The fixed trim tab is bent to align the adjustable stabilizer with the elevator at the design coefficient of lift. That probably does not mean cruise flight in a fighter, Otto. More like the vicinity of Va. In a conventional trim system what would be an adjustable trim TAB that gets aligned with the elevator at the zero trim mark. With an adjustable stabilizer, that tab is used to align the elevator and the adjustable horizontal stabilizer with the zero trim mark on painted on the side of the aircraft.

Why are you whining to me about someone else on the board? I do not care and form my own opinion. A quick search of the boards for "Solty and P-51" might give you a dose of reality on "fandom". Maybe like an adult, you will then delete your last post or apologize to Hummingbird. I will be happy to follow suit. Like you, he is simply searching for answers. :music_whistling:

Two different topics, two different settings, and you guys are talking past each other creating confusion. Zero Elevator or neutral elevator means the trim is set to align the elevator with the fixed portion of the horizontal stabilizer and the corresponding trim setting to achieve zero ELEVATOR angle at rotation are what determines take off trim settings in an aircraft. Some manufacturers of small aircraft do set the take off trim at climb out. This is not zero elevator setting, it is trimmed for a climb. Zero elevator is important in reducing drag at rotation speed for take off. That is NOT the same as the zero TRIM mark on the trim datum. The Zero Trim mark aligns the trim tab or adjustable horizontal stabilizer with elevator. The Zero Trim Mark is set at the design coefficient of lift for the mission the aircraft is expected to perform. The zero trim mark on the datum has NOTHING to do with climb out after take off. You are correct that both correspond to a speed. http://www.nar-associates.com/technical-flying/zeroelevatorangle/ZeroElevatorAngle_web_screen.pdf

Sounds like gyroscopic procession. When a turn is uncoordinated the Load factor is asymmetrical and the resultant force is applied over multiple vectors. The load factor is not asymmetrical when the turn is coordinated so the resultant is not divided over multiple vectors. The floor of the aircraft remain down (load factor remains on the Z axis) so the resultant force on a gyro will experienced 90 degrees and your sight disappears to the side.

You are most welcome. Yeah I have fond memories of Warbirds. I enjoyed working on the FM's. Too bad we only got the Bf-109E4 and Spitfire Mk 1 finished. They then tried to rush the changes which disappointed me. Good group of folks over there! :thumbup:

It's "flugzeugnügen" brought to you by Focke Wulf, GmbH. :music_whistling: Seriously, this should be in a bug section not a dogfighting skills thread.

Check your controls. I think there might be a spiking issue in DCS 1.5. I got some un-commanded control movements as well. Re-calibrate your controls...it helped me.
