That is absolutely correct, Dave. The wings on my refurbished '72 Windfree flex a lot-- the wingrods and wing spars are matched in strength. The problem is that I have to carefully modulate the winch pedal else the wings will fold, and this limits my launch height. If I just used stiffer

[RCSE] Gentle Lady on slope

2001-06-29 Thread Arne Ansper
Hi! What kind of slope (how big and steep) is required for Gentle Lady? Or is it impossible or pointless at all? I just attempted to fly mine on the biggest local slope and was lucky enough to get it back undestroyed. The slope is steep and quite low (about 15 meter high), the wind was strong

Good point, Andy. I'm inclined to keep the Windfree simple, and not add spoilers. I've noticed that I raise the nose and mush it in for a spot landing pretty well. --Bill From: Andy Page [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Next project... Date:

Bill: I've built, rebuilt, and rebuilt, and rebuilt. You get the idea. I never had a failure with the J hooks and 1/8 ply bulkhead nor the 3/32 tow hook. The wings will go W A Y before the tow hook fails. I don't think you have to re-invent the wheel on this one. Stan - Original Message

Well, I haven't heard that one, but I didn't study many biplane configurations during my aero engineering training... I do know this...Decalage is in fact the correct term, and is the difference between the angle of *incidence* of the wing and the horizontal stabilizer. These angles are of

decalage is not quite the right term. Decalage is the difference of angles of attack on the two wings of a biplane. Really??? Egad, this contradicts what I've heard and used for years. Do I have to revise my vocabulary? Darn, I hate to be wrong. If nothing else, there does seem to be wide
