I post again this message that I already notice put in another sections but which will be better here if the designers can take it into account !
Impressions with the CAP 10
I noticed that the couples were not really modeled. With the CAP 10 propeller turning clockwise (seen from the pilot seat) in real life we would have
- the effect of the helical breath: on takeoff the aircraft should board on the left. In flight at low speed and high engine speed, without countering, the ball should start to the right (yaw to the left)
- the effect due to the gyroscopic torque of the propeller: on take-off, going from the 3-point position to the 2-point position, the airplane should, in addition, yaw to the left. In flight during a reversal to the left, at the moment of the rotation, the airplane should have a pitching movement that we normally counter by putting the elevator forward (and also the warping to the right to counter the induced yaw ). In reversal to the right it is the opposite!
These couples can explain unfortunate runway excursions on take-off of more powerful single-engine propeller planes and conventional gear. The tricyle train is a great invention.
During stalls and spins the steering does not seem really efficient!
In addition, when the plane is vertical, the dashboard is so dark that you can’t read the joke (I couldn’t find the lighting).
Having a few dozen hours of aerobatics on CAP 10 and a lot more on other planes, I find it much easier in real life.
Sensations and peripheral vision help!
