Thread is slow today so I?ll provide some fodder? I?ve been flying almost everyday this past week in advance of convective weather forecast for the weekend. I flew yesterday morning before major frontal activity came through Northern Ohio. Of the 100 hours I have flying my 12 yesterday was most severe turbulence. On the outbound leg I snugged the lap belt and shoulder harness so I was literally ?fastened? to the seat. I?m 6?-0? tall and managed to bounce my head off the canopy twice on the return leg while flying 20 MPH below normal cruising speed.
I have searched the forum for ?yaw axis in turbulence? and haven?t found too much info. I?m wondering what characteristic about the RV-12 design makes it hunt so much about the yaw axis when flying in turbulence.
