[NSRCA-discussion] Full Flying Stab

[Jerry Voth]

I used a flying stab back in the late seventies and I thought it worked really well, so  I installed one on my next pattern plane and it worked well until it got going a little too fast in a split S and it fluttered off instantly. I didn't even have time to throttle back before it hit.

        Bob Violett, of BVM Jets, back in the "old days" had a successful pattern ship
        called the Viper that had a full flying stab. The pivot was toward the front of the stab
        about a third of the way back and the tube that moved the stab was towards the rear.
        I never heard why he quit using it, maybe someone who knows him can ask.

          I'm working on a new pattern design and would like some input on the
          feasibility of using a full flying stab. Servos are tighter and stronger now
          and the travel curve is more adjustable. Would it still be too loose and
          hunt or do they just not work?
          What do you think?
