Roll coupling #2

[John Ferrell]

Dave Guerin did a lot experimenting with rudder size and shape as well as experimenting with the rudder hinge angle on the Prodigy. None of these made any real noticeable change in the air.

Of course a different airframe might yield different results. The Prodigy was an anhedral wing version of the Prophecy. It flew like the Prophecy but the wing made it strange to look at. I have one ready to install equipment in, but will not likely get there soon...

   I ask this question the other day and got a few replies, all dealing with dihedral, with one exception. Seems that there could be and is much more to this. #1 Could the wing be moved up or down instead of dihedral? 2# Couldn't the rudder size and position,  sub fin added or reduced? Sense the 2 piece wing offers less possiblities of changing dihedral than the old one piece wing.
   Designers?
   Please reply to all and remove the sender.
