RobertGary1 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Interesting that he still aileron rolls to the left when his engine turns backwards. I always went left because right was anemic. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Roll rate is much faster than I expected...
