<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your assumption is correct. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Think of it as pushing a shopping cart around
backwards. Since the front wheels turn and the back ones don't when you're
pushing it backwards you have to move the front opposite of the direction you
wish to turn (the analogy's not mine by the way). This is the same method you
use to steer the plane when inverted and it's flying away. This also works great
with the vertical uplines with the belly facing you. If the plane is at the left
end of the box going straight up and the belly is facing you to move it "in" you
push the tail "out" which means right stick. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The part of the rule that I don't use is "pushing"
the nose when it's coming towards me inverted. In other words, if the plane is
at the right end of the box flying inverted toward center and you wish to move
the plane in you should "push the nose" in the direction you want it to go. In
this case you would apply right rudder (pushing the nose to the right). Or the
way I think about it is to still visualize from behind the plane and push the
tail in the opposite direction, in which case it's still right stick because I'm
pushing the tail away (driving the shopping cart backwards).</FONT></DIV>

me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Keith, I am intrigued. Other than crosswind flying my biggest weakness is
correct rudder inputs. I am still somewhat unclear on what you mean by "push
the tail". If you are inverted flying left to right and past yourself
and you want to correct heading "in" toward the flight line, you
want to push the tail out or input left rudder? Is that the correct way
of thinking or am I still as confused as I look (take my word on that
one). <BR>
