Hello all
I'm sure Mike doesn't mind if I point out the following:
A) The openings for the rudder cables could be much smaller if they
would not serve the dual purpose of extracting the ventilation air.
That would be a good idea as they don't extract air very well.
B Mike also forgot to mention that there is another point where the
ventilation air is meant to escape. This is on top of the fin where
the elevator joins the tailplane.
"Meant" to???
Where it can stuff up the flow at the top of the rudder and the
center part of the elevators.
Simply friggin brilliant.
I'm surprised by his statement that "The location is known to be bad as
the pressure there may even be above static." Perhaps his research is
more thorough and more trustworthy as the work done by the Schleicher
design team.
Go look it up! The only reason it isn't actually at pitot pressure is
because of viscosity.
