Lee White Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Cockpit view of what it's like to lug a Lightning thru it's paces.

LSP_Matt Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 That was really impressive footage. Did the ailerons seem to be a little sluggish? It seemed like he made an input on the yoke and then kinda counter-steered a few times. Wondered if it was related to the engines being spaced where they are? I think it'd be harder to fly something that did that than something that responded when you cranked a stick. Matty Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Love the quarter turn of the yoke back to neutral on the aileron roll. Great stuff. The sound is awesome too. Thanks for sharing this. Really enjoyed this video. Troy LSP_Matt and Lee White 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylenlord Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Not sure if I'm off base but as far as the counter aileron controls that happens when I fly rc planes. Ailerons are used to get the turn started, rudder is fed in to keep the turn going and a small amount of counter aileron is added to maintain the bank angle. The P38 has some dihedral in the wings so it probably gets some coupling from the rudders. Seriously cool video thank you for sharing.
