Maybe the rudder had a low aspect ratio (i.e it was normal looking) which would incline it to stall 'later'. Note the huge deflections on the F14 Tomcat all-flying stabs during launch. They have a low aspect ratio. With higher aspect ratios the stall becomes more likely. High performance TD v-tails have aspect ratios like 8. When they're this skinny they probably won't hack a 30 degree deflection and the maximum yaw they could sustain would be limited, as would be the yaw acceleration. Jeb (who, we remember, knows not whereof he speaks) P.S. Please pardon my giant shouting name. I'm looking for a job and it needs to stand out from the pack in MS Outlook. Hopefully it will return to normal size soon. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
