Hi Gil T
Drooping aileron cables don't look so good I would agree, but the whole directional stability thing isn't to do with drooping aileron cables, it is about the natural ability for the aircraft to try to get itself in order if the controls are disturbed. I agree that people should fly the aircraft and that means using the rudder pedals, but a naturally unstable aircraft in different axis can be a real pain and high cockpit workload at times when you don't need it. Certainly now I have got more time in my Escapade the area I find uncomfortable is with regard to the directional stability thing, unless you really concentrate and be real accurate on the pedals the slip ball just will not stay in the middle, the slightest lapse in concentration and it's hard off to the left or right, on such a great aircraft that seems kinda strange. What do you have to do to keep the slip ball well centered?? Would appreciate your feedback.
