Default Re: lanier edge 540 & da85

Well you know when you start out by saying I am going to be civil, I know you wont.

I contradicted your statement a heavier plane will help stop wing rock. What you state about negative roll dampening is not entirely wrong, but does not prove that adding weight to a plane will stop its wing rock. It is another way of saying uneven lift. I am a full scale pilot and I was taught all about negative roll dampening and how to recover from situations when you induce a roll moment during stalled flight and bad things happen. May be a matter of semantics, but I think we agree more than you think. I just don't agree that adding weight will help to stop wing rock.

I wrote a lengthy explanation of what negative roll dampening was and then I read it and thought that was real boring, so I deleted it. It is not what this thread was asking and we are past that. We are waiting to hear how the DA 85 acts in this bird. As I stated before it may work out great.

Ya, I missed the 4500 foot thing sorry about that, but I admitted that and moved on.
