Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group banking turns without ailerons



That was my theory Roger, rudder deflection inducing yaw makes the outboard wing fly faster than the inboard wing producing more lift which gives one somewhat of a bank. At any rate, that was part of the Ogden Utah Weedhopper dealer training school required of dealers way back when. Make sense to you?

I am not sure about his theory but rudder input alone has been banking weedhoppers since the 70s.  I have disconnected the spoilers on my starflight and until I get the ailerons installed have been very impressed by its roll rate using rudder input alone.  Roger P

Has to do with the dihedral interacting with the rudder input.
