I must admit that I have not yet had the need to blow it round in either
direction so I cannot comment personally. However when we did the test
flights with Peter Kember and then subsequently converting to type with
Martin Stoner, they both had occasion to blow it round on the rudder, which
was no effort at all. However as to whether it was left or right I am not
sure. Perhaps I will get a chance to try it in the next few days.
As for steering problems on landing, we have not experienced any yet. There
seems to be more than enough control authority in both directions, which at
times has proved quite usefull :-) !!!
