wash-out

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Arturo,

I have played with true zero dihedral in the wing.  I used this before 
computer radios with allthe mixing possibilities available to us, on a Kaos, 
and scared myself half to death first time I applied rudder. 

I found such a wing had to be mounted very close to the thrust line, in a 
true mid-wing configuration to fly well, without tucking hard down at the 
same time as rolling toward the canopy, when either rudder was applied.


Theoretically a true flat wing is supposed to require no aileron 
differential,  but bottom line was it did not buy much of anything.
