The Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation has been selected by NASA to conduct an annual flight competition - The Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) Centennial Challenge. This $250,000 technology prize competition is a 5-part flight contest, designed to bring forth a new class of quiet, efficient, environmentally friendly and easy-to-operate personal air vehicles that will extend convenient air travel to a greatly expanded segment of the American public. The 2007 PAV Challenge will be staged August 4 -- August 11 at the CAFE Flight Test Center at Sonoma County's Charles M. Schulz Airport.

those were examples geez how much do I have to explain this ha-ha. if you get the concept then you would see he was keeping the nose up with rudder, it was not sloppy uncoordinated flying.

Yes I have heard of top rudder and am familiar with the concept. but that turn we are talking about in this video wasn't any knife edge, or slow roll, etc....

Have you ever heard of top rudder? when you're knife edge the rudder acts as an elevator. like in a slow roll? 4 point roll? 8 point roll? (coming form a 14 year old) i switched accounts.

sorry kid...but how does using rudder "keep the nose up"?

So what did I learn about the RV-4 ? Nothing !! And it wan't even a stock one, having longer wings. No description of handling qualities, not even decent footage other than a small break away from the photo-plane. Very disappointing...

looks like you got schooled by a child back to class beeotch!

(coming from a 14 year old) that's obvious.

If you were looking he actually used left rudder to keep the nose up. and stay level with the chase plane. (coming from a 14 year old.)
unapro3 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Hmm, for a proffesional test pilot I would have thought you would use a bit of rudder when you did the break from the chase plane, would have cleaned up the adverse yaw.
