Fuselage under panel

[dundeeguy]

Hi

Would flying without the panel on the bottom of the fuselage affect its flight?? Its the panel that runs the length of the underside of the fuse with the 3 holes in it.

Just wondering if that caused me to crash and burn the other day! Or prob it was my bad flying. LOL

It depends. Was the plane uncontrollable or want to pitch up or down suddenly. If so it could be air getting "trapped" in the rear section of fuse or the air going past the void creating a "low pressure" area under the plane.

It could also be with out the rear lower cover the tail of the fuse was allowed to flex and wiggle in flight. That could affect the planes performance as well.
