Did the Horton ever actually fly?

Hello- According to what I've read, the H-VII first flew in May of 1943- they had initially intended to use it to test the Argus pulse-jet as a means of propulsion.

Say, Fliger- for the most part this model flies pretty nice- but the ailerons lose almost all of their effectiveness above about 170 kts or so. Do you have any idea which part of the .air or the aircraft.cfg file I might tweak to adjust this? I compared the performance of it to the Northrop N9M, which behaves in similar fashion, but much more manageable...

Thanks, Mike Z.
 
If you fancy the glider version; David Rowberry has done a very nice rendition,
you can find it at usual places.

Ailerons:

Table 342 affects effectivenss vrs angle, probably not you issue.

Table 518 is probably you culprit, aileron effectivness vrs dynamic pressure.

Also look in primary aerodynamics under Cl_da (roll moments, aileron control).

These are Hex tables and a bit difficult make sense of unless you get Aircraft Airfile Manager. The primary aerodynamics can be edited with AirEd.

Jet propulsion made these designs somewhat more practical.

Thank you very much, Tom! -Mike Z.

Sure enough- #518 was a straight line to a point where the line drops drastically off...
