<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been flying Int for 2 years and STRUGGLING
with the 2 rolls(as anyone who's seen me fly knows). AT my last contest I
realized I had been leaving my Rudder on high rates the entire flight. Amazingly
enough on low rate I didn't over control the rudder input in the rolls( yes I
have been determined to do them integrated rudder-elevator-aileron)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now my point - when I kept the rudder
on low rates for the entire flight I also did better stall turns, Go

<DIV><SPAN class=970503301-09102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>The high
rate rudder with high expo will work, until you get into snaps. Then you might
switch into high rate aileron with high expo and low rate rudder and elevator
set-up. Switching for a stall turn seems less stressful than for a snap. But
that's looking ahead.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=970503301-09102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I have
flown both the Sportsman and Intermediate with low rates on all surfaces. The
"trick" to the stall turn on low rate is to NOT wait until the last minute to
start adding rudder. I like to tell everyone it's like adding rudder like you
would follow an expo curve. Little, little more, little more and then full
(only when the plane will not fly over the top). It takes a bit of getting
used to, but it works, all the way through to FAI also. I do have a high
rate/high expo rudder set-up for rolling circles/loops (along with low rate
aileron for 1 and 2 rollers) and those "O S" stall turns. I prefer the
low rates on rudder and elevator cause now I don't have to flip switches for
snaps.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=970503301-09102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>But
ultimately it comes down to what YOU feel comfortable doing. After some
practice, the rudder switch should become a motion rather than a
thought.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Rudder Dual Rate<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I'm working on the Intermediate pattern and have got a question
on dual rates.</DIV>
<DIV>Except for the stall turns I like to keep the rudder on a lower
rate...this keeps me from over-controlling direction changes.</DIV>
<DIV>On the two stall turn maneuvers, however, I flip it to high rate,
but then back again as soon as the maneuver is over.</DIV>
<DIV>Just curious if anyone else does this, and, in fact, does anyone
alternate between low and high rates while flying their respective
sequences? Or, am I generating a bad habit?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
