Hi Igor,
Danubit ... I like it. I have a work buddy who is an amateur munitions expert: this morning he told me more than I want to know about it!
Please confirm for me that you are inferring the flying speed, relative to the ground, by measuring the yaw rate and using that information to vary the governor set-point.
If that is true, then flying in outdoor wind will be an interesting test.
In normal non-turbulent wind, the airspeed will be low approaching almost all maneuvers,
and the plane will be accellerating just as dead-downwind is reached. That should be okay
It might make it easier to fly good shapes on the overheads, because the extra airspeed when pointed into the wind will
help prevent the classic flat-spot.
So now we have two fundamentally different approaches you have tried.
One is to keep the airspeed constsnt, the other is to keep the ground-referenced speed constant.
Interesting. Thanks again for sharing.
Hey Dennis, the governor can't fight the gyro, because it is slaved to it. Right Igor?
later, Friends,
Dean
