KR> BRS vs Bean Field
Mark; I was surprised how much angle of attack changed the pressure distribution over the top of the fuselage. If you are ejecting from your plane, and have control, pull back to increase pitch and the canopy should unload. If not, stall. That should do it. Peter Still, I think the answer is "not likely thatyou'll over power the canopy", but adrenaline levels might change that.

Steve; Chute is not useable for the first flight. Use it only for the flights where you plan on gaining enough altitude to deploy it, where you are exploring the envelope, and the first cross-countries. I'm guessing you will find a way out in-extremus.

I think I once figured out that I could get about 1 psi pressure boost from ram air at 160 mph or so, and assuming a canopy is 30" x 36" (and dismissing the fact that it's not really a flat plate, which does matter), we're talking over a thousand pounds of pressure at a 90 degree opening angle. I've heard stories of folks taking off with neither side latched and the canopy rising maybe 2"-3" at the back and stopping there, so that's where the lift and pressure from on-coming air balance out (and yes, the weight of the canopy is a minor factor). Still, I think the answer is "not likely that you'll over power the canopy", but adrenaline levels might change that. But as has been mentioned, unless you're over the mountains, forest, city (that fits a lot of places), flying the plane to the ground usually makes a lot of sense. As for how many dead-stick landings I've made, well over a thousand. Ever since the first one, I've made a habit of chopping the throttle on downwind when I'm abeam the approach end of the runway, and then glide in the rest of the way. I shoot for arriving high, then slip if I'm too high. Sometimes I have to goose the throttle, but my goal is to get it on the ground smoothly with minimal roll-out...like an emergency landing. Practice makes perfect, or at least improves thing. If people always land at 1500 rpm, they will be in for a surprise when they have to land with a stopped prop. There's a very big difference in glide length and how touchdown is handled... Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com

Being a glider pilot I have made several hundred dead stick landings so I laugh at 27.

Considering the great job mark did in his Bean field visit, 26 priors for practice doesnt seem totally unrealistic! ;)
KR> Blanks/BRS
LOL. In that case the BRS would not have helped since I was never high enough to deploy it. What it really comes down to is that you can be prepared for a hundred different situations you can get into, but the thing that gets you might just be the one you did not prepare for. Heck, the thing that gets you just might be because of your preparations such as a passenger pulling the BRS handle at a most inopportune time like just before clearing the trees at the approach end of the runway during a normal landing. We all need to evaluate the flying we normally do and figure out what makes sense for us within our budget, weight allowance, and a hundred other factors. For some of us a BRS makes a lot of sense. For others it does not, but don't make that decision based on just what you read from some posts from different people flying different planes in different situations. Evaluating your own needs and acting accordingly is what makes you not a weenie.

KR> Blanks
I use Godaddy and it defaults to HTML unless I remember to click on the tab for plain text. When I forget to do that the mail comes through blank. Sometimes I see that I sent a blank email and I resend it correctly. Sometimes I see it and by that point it is not that important anymore and I don't bother to resend. Original Message Subject: KR> Blanks From: Mike Stirewalt via KRnet List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Thu, July 30, 2015 4:31 pm To: krnet at list.krnet.org Cc: laser147 at juno.com Two of the most knowledgable netters whose posts are always worth reading, Langford and Brian Kraut, frequently leave posts which are blank. I doubt in most cases they even know their posts are coming through as blanks since how often do these busy people take the time to go back and read a post to see if it made it through the system okay? The phenomenon of blank emails is probably not even noticable to the poster unless they're using digest mode.
