 |
|
Anyone ever look back in their Kolb and see the tail moving around a bit in the airstream ??? Not a lot, but just a barely preceptibe, fiarly slow movement as you fly...
I am positive this is normal, since I have seen the tail on my friends plane move much more upon startup, but it still gets your attention.

If you check out some of the videos recently uploaded you will see the view "Hunting" back and forth on camera.
I presume this is the result of exactly what you are describing.
Probably just some prop slipstream turbulence or turbulence from the cockpit enclosure.
If its from the Cockpit it will vary more with airspeed but if its from the Prop slipstream it will not vary as much.
I fly my glider in aero tow 200' behind a tow plane and I can attest first hand that the prop blast even 200' behind the prop is very turbulent indeed.
