I've done some work on the C172P JSBSim aero model to make the plane
sloppier in slow flight, especially with the flaps extended.
To try it out, start FlightGear with
fgfs --aircraft=c172p-3d --altitude=3000 --vc=70
Now, extend full flaps and let the airspeed drop to around 50-55 KIAS.
David,
Just playing around a bit ...
Try flying with full rudder one direction and then try to compensate
with aileron ... I got the model to go head over heels (so to speak)
and other berzerk stuff with full rudder in flight. I've seen this
done in an 1/3rd scale R/C model of an extra 300, but

At 70kt with no flaps, I get a nice forward slip as expected -- the
ailerons can easily compensate for full flaps. I'm guessing that
rudder has a little too much authority at high alpha and/or with full
flaps. I'll look into it now.
Please try it again now.
