I have a question about aileron deflection and how it relates to adverse yaw.
My plans show the ailerons deflect 17 deg up and 17 deg down. Now I have a strong feeling that this will cause adverse yaw in a turn which is undesireable to me. Now the question is, in what part of rigging the controls do I solve this? How do I calculate a good ratio of up and down deflection?
The Push Pull tube runs directly from the control stick to the bellcrank and 90 deg to the aileron horn.
I'll post a crude drawing because my plans are too big for me to scan the section I will show.
Any comments appreciated.
Oh, it's going to be a low wing Fisher Avenger V if anyone is wondering.
