Tom, I am blown away with your technical understanding of aircraft geometry! I followed you all the way past " imagining a perpendicular line", etc. but got no further. :untroubled: That
really helped me understand the wheel scrubbing issue you refer to. The spreadsheet not withstanding, I fully trust your math, however, and will just re-adjust my point 0's to the numbers you recommended in your original post. Great stuff and I thank you for that!
BTW, after further experimentation, I agree that the C152 "straight out of the box" is badly out of whack, too. I found it almost impossible to make a 360 degree turn at Bugalaga Air Field!
Will try to attach a Google Drive link to a fun video I made awhile back for my brother, that demonstrates that issue. (Hope that's "legal", here...)
Thanks again!
