I don't have a dog in this fight, but that is the way I also understand the
stall. Angle of attack is the angle of the chord relative to the wind, not a
horizontal line. So if the plane is descending in still air, the angle of
attack will be greater than the attitude of the wing chord.

If you suspect the maintenance might be an issue, than maybe a simple circuit
with a LED on the instrument panel might be interesting. Circuit can be
designed to light up when a bulb is out and can be active even if the lights
are not powered on (ie: day time) That might save some cycles on the
Is it customary to leave wheel pants on in the winter months on a KR? I really
don't know, so I'm asking. Seems that at my airport wheel pants are removed on
all aircraft in the winter. And I would imagine that the lights would go
through abuse they were not designed for. Seems that every time
Among all the distractions, I hope no one minds that i get a bit of topic and
start talking about aircraft conversions
I was wondering why so far I did not see any headers on corvair engines.
On cars, headers accounted for up to 5% increase in horse power. What is the
reason
why the same can
in my experience PVC is not a good male mold. Hard to separate. Cardboard
shipping tubes on the other hand are perfect. Once Composite sets, a few minute
soak in a bath tub, and the tube separates and peals off.
"Forgive me if this is an ignorant idea, but has anyone considered laying up
You guys might be over thinking this.
In theory that calculation is possible if.
You have perfect carburation (but you don't)
you have perfect timing (but you don't)
Your manifolds are 100% efficient (but they aren't)
your fuel burn is based on top output at stp (but it isn't, its an
In my younger days we used to put aluminum window screening sandwiched between
2 carburetor spacers to help atomize fuel. Theory was that the screen creates
micro vortexes and helps with a more even air/fuel mixture distribution to all
cylinders. We didn't have a dino machine to test this out,
Like you, I have my experience with cars. I would like to know how negative the
caster angle was on the plane.
Yes, unlike in cars where the caster angle is positive, and the more positive
it is, the better stability, and wheel return.
But its harder to turn the wheel.
In the nose wheel of a
I think you might have misunderstood me. I was talking about a crossover, or
more commonly known as an isolator.
There wouldn't be any mods to the dashboard. All an isolator does is isolates
the batteries, so they are not "bank"
charged. Just do a search on a battery isolator, and you will
I'm not sure if this would work in a plane as a back-up. But in RVs and boats

at any RV or marine store. The cross-over is pretty much just a

I think it has an aluminum laminate on both sides
I'm not sure, but if thats true, the laminate IMHO makes the foam useless
for construction. Also I'm not sure if the properties of the foam are with or
with out
the aluminum laminate. So
