Yaw stability

[alaskabearhawk]

FWIW. With only 9.4 hrs so far, I haven't had any issues as long as my hands and feet remained quiet. I flew at 75% power in pretty much a constant turn and it was relatively easy to keep in trim. I had a rich mixture setting, running always on BOTH tanks selected. My longest flight was 3.1hrs turning circles. The most differential between tanks that I have seen in refueling is 1.6 gallons.

This is all interesting reading…. I have yet to fly but did not like the look of the springs in the kit and put on mildly stiffer springs during construction

It’s easy to get caught up in possibilities online. I myself get sucked in.

This next statement is nothing more than stating my opinion. (So please don’t take it the wrong way. There is always someone better at it and with more time than yourself)

I have roughly 500 hrs in a patrol, and close to 100 in a model 5. I have somewhere around 1500 in tailwheel aircraft. I have not seen any yaw instability in a Bearhawk.
