Oh my goodness....Right Rudder? Why in the world would any pilot need
right rudder and why do so many of todays pilots fail to have any
understanding of it? How come so many of todays pilots seem to hug the
left side of the runway?
Such a frustration for CFI's and I wonder how many of the current crop
of CFI's have a handle on it or even understand what they are trying
to teach?
Its a sad situation.
Your comments or observations?
Most airplanes can be slowed down enough behind the curve to produce a 0
airspeed (IF) and it's a big IF, the aircraft has enough aileron
authority to counteract the torque. You can do this in a J3 for example,
but in the P51, you will torque roll the airplane before reaching a zero
airspeed.
