Vaugely Relevant . And Mr Adamisins might appreciate Id seen their things in the mag back in the mid 70s . WITH THIS RESULT . and considered their High A/R ' experiments ' in contemplateing these back then .
a quater century slips by , & Volia . . . .
What happens if you put a table top on it , and step on it . A normal plane . SPREAD IT OUT .
( FLAPS are just between the Wiper & the Lower Intake . )Had to put them somewhere . Figure Tail width ( slipsteam ) for starters .
This was a result of the Adamisin Orange Crate / Eclipse , and other things . Having read em a dozen times .
Another One Id put the flaps a few bays longer & sweep the hingeline . It was done to establish a base line .
In a overhead eight it lifted you . And had superb ' fine control ' on tracking . in rounds .
A dud run & it was hopeless . Like Most THINGS .
Being stroppy , Hit FULL UP out of wingover , 50% by itself it came out clean & level . If you eased & flew it
through it was fine . Ya dinnae wanna buildem too light . This was 72 ounce for 630 Sq In .
Advised to' pull through ' on theengine cut , it overshot my landing point , BY A LAP .
Further , think it was 23 % , Lightning was 27 at a guess , Flew much grippyer .
Half Way for P A I think'd be ideal . Tripped over my 90 % ? 68 in from 78 P - 38 Drawings , for .25s .
As Certain turkies only want to pick holes in em , in their ignorance , leave em to gooble .
This is the same ,but with thicker airfoil & more flap . a big worry with the 21 inch spread , was wotiditdo on the outer .
Wingovers & rounds . on a OS 35 ! , WITH THE ELEVEN BY FOUR PROPS . notonanyother .
Had good support trundling around , good turn . A little Slack in the bellcrank to primary push rod was a major annoyance . MAKE SURE THERES NONE .
Id think , as the thin one liked the wind , but this had more grip , the middle ground would be middle ground , as the blunt other white mew was to grippy & had to be flown every inch .
Which it'd do . But hitting its own slipsteam would cut a wing loose and youd get rekitted . So I dont believe a ' High Wake ' is a good idea wiffem . Like thick blunt trailing edges .
The differance from three adjacent 1/8 wires across , to the wheels , in trim & drag , on the green one , compared to FAIRED legs & wheels was astronomical , on sucha cleanplane . NOTE .
Notta Lotta Frontal Area :
Next I will leave taiplane outers fixed , for a reason or three . The EARS / Aerodynamic counterbalances DO lighten & steady controls . Usefull when its bumpy . More even Handle Load . onna big one .
They were TOO undirectly affixxed , structurally . As fixed ends would give a counter force to control , id think it'd stabilise the rear by needing more control force ! so a more stable load aft , in turns.
Threw these on primarilly as maybe they wouldnta been done , without those pesky Adamisins having shown the way . I believe BOTH have great potential . Electric in the Lightning would be Far Out
as it'd all fittin the early cowlings . Being sorta SCALE ' Aircraft ' inspired . Old Boy . Thanks Dennis & Dave & All . All thiose hours & money , and its all your fault .
well . . . . . .
