Mirko you really haven't expressed yourself completly about this subject. I
think you need to share your true feelings with the group. I mean has a
foamie had carnal knowlege with your sister? Or were you possibly scared by
a foamie while in the crib? Just what brought on these hostile
Foamies SUCK Death to foamies.
There in lies the problem: Foamies never die, they just get mushed and
need a new tape job.

For you guys that like anything that flies and like to
save a buck or two Toys-R-Us has the Walk Along
gliders called Air Surfers and they come 2 in a pack
for $4.98.
I have a feeling either Hasbro snagged a patent idea
or McCreedy sold them the rights. From what I can
tell it's pretty much
Oh yeah! They work GREAT -- i got a pair of them... you need a VERY still
day, but those things work like a charm, and are a good way to get a workout
without knowing it! fun for the kids, too! thermal them off of your heat
exchanger, your grill, your forehead!
For you guys that like
I think it's really strange that this rule is coming up at the same time
that AMA is easing up on 55lb planes (see the AMA website). I think
there is no comparision of risk here. I seem to recall being hit by
foamies and slow flyers but these were all non-events. It's the hits on
people by hard
we need to know size and shape of control surface and also expected
speed of plane. Also, is this pushrod straight and in line with the
load? Even at that, I'm not going to make any guesses unless it seems
similar to a plane I'm familiar with. My guess is this would be ok for
something like a
No, no replies.
This is a very difficult idea. Very few are capable of doing it
successfully. If you don't have an oscilloscope and heaven knows what else,
you're not equipped. I don't recommend it for any one without very specific
experience and tools.

Good points Jim.
I thought I read in the last MA that AMA is self-insured.

The AMA is just covering their behind on this one, if only for insurance
purposes. Don't they fly Quickie 500 races at the NATS? Ever seen this
type of race? You've got planes weighing around 4 pounds going 200 mph.
Compare that to foamy Zagi at 1 pound going 20 mph. I'm no math major, but

The Walkalong glider was originally invented by
Paul McCready's sons, Tyler and Parker, (maybe
with some guidance from dad?) hanging around in
their dad's hangar in the years of the Gossamer
Albatross development. I got the full story of the
original invention from Parker McCready a few
years
Good day all. I'm trying to find a US source for a new book about 3 views
and documentation. It was featured in RCM May 02. It's called Aircraft
Profiles
Vol. 6 Sailplanes 3. English version. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

I've recently begun to grasp how little I understand about aerodynamics,
e.g. Normally, an airfoil bends from about 25% from the LE; why are
control surfaces so small, then? Or: The Bernoulli explanation of lift
doesn't do it for me; isn't the job of an airfoil to create downward
thrust
