Yoke deflection

Post by stephan.cote.1 » Sat Mar 03, 2018 2:25 pm

Hi guys! Just an observation on the VC model.. in the Otter, full aileron is achieve when the yoke is pivoted about 100 degrees.. not 30-40 degrees like it is depicted in the actual VC model....

Cheers

We are aware of this. It was done on purpose because the animations over a >90

degree arc can cause what is known as gimbal lock. Hence, no more than 90 degrees total
