Summary edit

Description
English: 10-1438 Mignet HM290 Pou-Du-Ciel Replica. Side-to-side movement of the stick controlled the large rudder. This produced a rolling motion because the wings both had substantial dihedral, through yaw-roll coupling. The rudder had to be quite large not only to produce adequate roll but also because the fuselage was very short, reducing the leverage of the rudder. The Flying Flea, being a two axis aircraft, could not be landed or taken off in substantial crosswinds. This was not a big issue when the aircraft was designed because at that time aircraft were usually flown from large open fields allowing all take-offs and landings into wind - Day 2 Watts Bridge Airfield Festival of Flight 'The Vintage Experience' 2010.
