Vertical Stabilizer Non-Zero Incidence Angle Causes Neutral Rudder Constant Sideslip #8

Constant Sideslip with rudder centered as shown constant sideslip

This is caused by non-zero vertical stabilizer incidence angle. <[aerowing][VertStabilizerAero][] <[string8][Body][Fuselage]> <[string8][Flap0Control][ServoRudder.Output]> <[float64array][StationY] [ 0.0 0.0 ]> <[float64array][StationLE] [ -4.42690 -3.31020 ]> <[float64array][StationTE] [ -5.24986 -4.89516 ]> <[float64array][StationZ] [ 1.54146 0.0 ]> <[float64array][StationIncidence] [ 0.03491 0.01745 ]> // ???? constant side slip WTF?

IF the intent was to have propwash effects, then the correct implementation would be to define the PropWash parameters in the aerowing objects of the wings, horizontal stabs, and vertical stabilizer.
