Gliders > Slope Soaring
First the good news......and then the bad news.
joe:
I might be after you with a big stick as well Frenchie!! Although I'll probably go for a big thick carbon rod instead :D :D
Gentle sloper/thermal glider is not really what you are into these Keith. That said you might get to enjoy it the more you try it.
Usually ailerons are less effective on dihedral wings as far as I know. Looks like you need half the amount of down as up for your ailerons.
Never a bad thing having ailerons on a slope machine. Rudder only can be a little slow to react when landing etc...
chamber means being able to drupe the ailerons and flaps a couple of mm to make the most of light lift/thermal conditions.
no sex or drugs for me Keith! Only rock and roll and I wouldn't really call it that!! more folk and roll!
will be in touch for some flying in the next week or so Keith. need a bit of a fix before heading back out on the road with my lovers...no, sorry I mean band mates!! :wink:
Nice work on the glider Keith. Look forward to seeing her fly!
Fred:
Eh eh eh, 12mm for the big Ka3, but might not be enough to be honest ! :P :lol: :lol:
Might go flying for a day in Mt Leinster this week end !
Keith, we'll talk about the camber and stuff if you want :D
Watching out for a good day now !
Arf Joe, you are another man since on tour with the Village People and Boy George ! 8-[
Happy Days:
Now I understand what Joe meant when he kept telling me he needed a "Fag". :wink: I thought he was referring to cigarettes. (Silly me!)
Joe, you're right about me not being into gental 'floaters'. I didn't know that at the time I bought the Elite.
Now I've 'found my feet', so to speak I have a better idea what type of plane to look for in future.
I was thinking of something like.............www.aeromod.eu The "Toons" model. Check it out guys. The 4.5mtr version might suit me don't you think? :lol: I might ask Mandy to get it for me for christmas. (She's the one with all the money!)
Fred, let me know what day you'll be at Big L. I can be there in 40 minutes :D Maybe some of the other guys will care to join us.
K.
Fred:
Actually Keith, I know a second hand Toon if interrested... :wink: :D
Saw the beast once... That is huge !!
I let you know, and everybody else too, when I'll plan to go... I'll take the best day anyway, I keep an eye on the forecast!
