RE: [Paparazzi-devel] PPZ control without aileron ?

technically the DragonFly from the University of Arizona has rudder and elevons, but the way the MAV flies the rudder has direct roll control, not yaw.  So if your control surfaces had roll control it would work, otherwise I think it would be tough to achieve roll stability(unless the vehicle was stable in roll, lots of dihedral?). the navigation may work, maybe :)

Hi,

              Has anyone achieved stable PPZ control on a plane with no Aileron? (i.e. rudder and elevators only)
