I’m working on spin for an RV7.
I’ve had pretty limited success
It will spin, but it doesn’t settle into a stable spin.
It will sometimes even go horizontal into a series of snap roll.
In a spin the forces should balance out eventually reach a very stable condition (as far as I understand)
A good description here...http://www.ozaeros.net/spin/ostivxx.html
I’m following some guidelines in AAM, I’m looking at tables: 451, 456, 460, 464
To start I’ve…
Slightly inverted roll dampening @ stall (tbl. 456)
Reduced roll moment due to slip @ stall (tbl.451)
These are some of the flight characteristics I’d like to get to.
Controls…
- rudder hard over
- elevator full back
features…
- steady developed stall
- steady vertical path
- fixed airspeed
- fixed pitch angle
- fixed slip angle
- fixed roll rate
- fixed yaw rate
I guess I am trying to match airfile parameters to each features as best I can.
Does anyone have any good insights into tuning a stable spin?
Thanks,
Danny
