having a "blonde moment" when it comes to gyro procession and props
Pitching a clockwise spinning (seen from the cockpit) prop forward will
result in a yaw to the left, pitching it up will result in a right yaw. Correct so far? However, why does a yaw to the right cause a pitch up, and a yaw to the left cause a pitch down? I thought it would be the other way, given that a yaw to the right means applying a force to the left of the prop disc, which would result in the precession force being applied 90 degrees later meaning that it would pitch DOWN. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. |
