seems to lack yaw stability.


	


My IV has very good authority to the rudder; has adverse yaw roughly 

equivalent to a Decathlon, (much more than a 172,) and has a "dead band" in 

the middle where it will fly sideways +/- 2 degrees of yaw. I am a neophyte 

and have had no trouble flying straight or landing in what I consider 

"challenging" conditions.
