shomke Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I am curious. Is it really easier to refuel using rudder pedals? I am training to refuel my picky M-2000 with my X56, no pedal a stiff twist axis, and so far I am struggling...

Eviscerador Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I never use rudder while refuelling and I'm fine. Maybe with rudder pedals will be a bit easier to do small yaw corrections which I do rolling now. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock-Knock Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I never touch'em, unless Im refueling while banking, then I find it easier with a bit of rudder. But straight and level, never - any module. P.s.

bbrz Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Applying rudder will yaw the nose, but (initially) it will not change the flight path. Heading changes are always done by banking since lift is the force which makes your aircraft turn. i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I've never used the rudder to refuel, but I suppose it might be possible to use it to "catch" the basket, if you might otherwise just miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
