I guess he means precession. If you roll fast enogh, your aircraft
acts as a gyroscope. Now apply a force perpendicular to the roll axis,
and the result will be a precession motion which can be pretty
impressive.
ok, I knew it must have soemthing to do with a gyro....I couldnt reason it
out...but this makes sence. I hope your right...or else ill just have to
go back to being confused again.
That's a shame it makes sense, as its not correct, and understanding all
things related to flying are worth knowing as a flight instructor. There's
really no reason for any instructor to be "confused" when a little research
will enhance understanding.
If you are actually interested in inertia coupling, perhaps a little bit of
research might bring you up to speed on it. If not, please accept my sincere
apology for having mentioned it.
