What are the advantages or dis-advantages of an aircraft rudder having a swept back hinge line?
aerodynamically speaking, cannot see , matter of fact, causes aircraft react in opposite direction ,i. e., when left rudder applied, plane tends bank right.
experienced long time ago when learning fly r/c models. previous trainer did not have swept rudder hinge line , co-ordinate turns no problem. then, when built second model , had swept rudder hinge line, on first flight, applied left rudder before aileron , elevator, model turned hard right , dove mother earth.
so, admit, not know lot aerodynamics, can't understand advantage is. me, when turn rudder, because hinge line not straight , down, (vertical) acts combination rudder , down elevator. causes rudder force plane bank in opposite direction in attempt become vertical.
