Lixma 06 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Whereas the MiG's elevator and ailerons stiffen up and lose almost all effectiveness at high speed, the rudder seems unaffected. Even at approximately Mach 1 the pilot has the same yaw control as if it were 400kph. Couple of videos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lixma 06 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Quick bump for this - the rudder remains fully effective at any speed. Along with the FM I hope the Mig and Sabre interiors get some modern love like the Mustang and Ka-50, or a paid-for version 2.0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reasonable inference, really. This is from an Osprey Duel book - If my elevators and (boosted) ailerons are locking up like 'cement' at high speed then why is my rudder strangely immune during all this? If it is correct then fair enough but to me it makes no sense. Edited December 10, 2021 by Lixma 06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Yo-Yo Posted December 11, 2021 ED Team Share Posted December 11, 2021 MiG-15 has 5 kG/deg rudder pedals force gradient at 560 KPH IAS, so, presuming 100 kG as an achievable force, full travel (20 deg) is obtainable. But at higher IAS clipping is necessary, of course. 2 Ніщо так сильно не ранить мозок, як уламки скла від розбитих рожевих окулярів There is nothing so hurtful for the brain as splinters of broken rose-coloured spectacles.

Compare the rudder response of the 15 to the 19 - it's night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
