On the slip turn, this was a purely rudder turn? Also was the SE still turning or had he leveled off? How quickly did the DR1 get around on the SE? My limited understanding, not being a true pilot, is that a rotary aircraft will go right and up when you pull the stick back and when you give right rudder you go right and down. The combined effects give you the slip turn you spoke. Due the rotary effects happen only on stick/rudder movement, ie. the 45 degrees off center effect goes away when you hold the control steady after you pull back and rudder right or do they stay? Thus once I held the position of the stink stable or the rudder stable they would act normally, ie. up (stick) and right (rudder). If the rotary effects are still in place are they as strong as when you move the stick?

Thanks,

Chuck
