Flite Test | Glider Winch Tow

Congratz guys, I fly full scale of both gliders and powered airplanes and what Peter was saying about the rudder input is absolutely the case. The longer glider wingspan makes a lot of adverse yaw. Increasing the lift on the upgoing wing by increasing the camber, and decreasing the lift on the downgoing wing by decreasing the camber makes the induced drag higher on the upgoing wing. On small wingspan airplanes the ailerons are close enough to the C of G that it doesn't matter that much, but with very long wings it makes a huge difference and you'll notice the nose yaw a dramatic amount in the wrong direction if you use a lot of aileron and no rudder.
