Bertie Bert, first time Little Luke took me up in his Velocity, he failed to inform me that the rudder system is different from ˇ§conventionalˇ¨ aircraft in both design and performance. In most aircraft the rudder pedals are interconnected. Pushing down on one rudder pedal causes a corresponding movement in the opposite (upward) direction of the other. LL says to me, let's slip this baby home. Taje the center stick." Uh, like first of all, I'm not LHanded. Then I find the rudder pedals. lol I was quick to note that the rudder pedals in the Velocity operate independent from each other,what I they failed to notice is that much of the sensory feedback with respect to rudder deployment is ****faced gone. Push one rudder pedal in the Velocity and the other remains motionless. Cessna and Piper pilots like me learn to rest both feet on the rudder pedals to get a ˇ§feelˇ¨ for the rudder position. Transferring this habit to the Velocity invites a common mistake ˇV the unintentional deployment of one (or both!) rudder(s) in flight. I passed the slip back to Little Puker. |

Yes, I've heard about this feature in that type of airplane. I'm going to get a chance to fly a Long Eze pretty soon and I believe it works the same way. You can use both together as a speed brake, yes? Bertie |
