JohnA few of us have observed that it takes positive force on the reverse rudder to get out of a slip, but I don't think adding more vertical area is going to remedy the problem, and adding the extra weight on this already tail heavy plane certainly doesn't help! I'm going to seal the gap in the rudder and the horizontal stabilizer - that address this quirk.

Years ago I read that one of the builders had expanded his fin. If I remember right, he said he added about six inches to the front of it. I must have read it in the BPANewsletter. Bernard P. himself said that extending the nose for W & B purposes makes it a little harder to straighten back out when recovering from a slip. I think that last week someone even mentioned here that it takes a positive reversal of rudder to straighten out after the slip in their Piet.> > I have already extended the fuselage, ahead of the CG, by moving the firewall 4 inches forward.
