Cliff,
I have a fast R/C sub (500 mm long) When sharp
turning at full speed, it shows a massive 40 deg. roll (the normal lean angle
like a motorbike, no battleship. It dont has the tendency to dive.
I think there is no problem as our psubs would not make
such extreme manouvres.
Grs, Emile

Turn?
Question:
When a sub is turned sharply at speed, using only the rudder, will it dive as
well? It seems to me that some
roll would be induced by centrifugal forces on the heavy part of the sub
(lower part) which would cause the rudder to be in a non-vertical position and
point the sub in a turning and diving attitude. Would this be a problem at speeds of
4-6 knots and if so, is it correctable?
Thanks, as always,
Cliff
