Let's just say that I'm fairly conversant with the folks that Peter is now dealing with after Len Fox declined to fly the plane. Apparently, the...
Yep. That's why I have a COZY MKIV. I was just addressing your statement regarding not needing a wide fuselage (wrt the Q2/200), and the notion...
Everyone's got their preferences, and maybe you've got really good reasons for wanting a Q-bird. But I'd seriously consider looking at a Long-EZ -...
I would expect that almost all fatal accidents are reported, but a substantial # of non-fatal accidents (and in fact, a VERY large percentage of...
There are (AFAIK) three deep stalls in Velocities and three in COZY's, along with the one purposeful one in the Long-EZ. Two of the three Velocity...
There is one person who has done that, and it was my hangar mate, in his Long-EZ. He started trying to recover at about 13K ft., and recovered at...
I wish. For BBerson, what generally happens in a canard aircraft takeoff is that due to the CG being ahead of the axles (102" CG with 110" axles...
According to folks intimately involved in the early Long-EZ testing, Burt used the Varieze winglets on the first Long-EZ. It was perfectly happy...
Minor nit - it wasn't stability concerns that led to the reduction in canard span of 3" per side - it was deep stall susceptibility. With the...
I can't say what a "typical" Velocity XL sees, but I can tell you what the XL sample POH shows, and what the XL that I've done a W&B on shows. The...
Velocity does that with dual NACA scoops. Works acceptably well. Obligatory disclaimer that this is not a defense of any Raptor design features.
Having worked for Henry Kolm, the inventor of the maglev train, on my Master's thesis (Design, Construction and Testing of an Electromagnetically...
So it's not the highlighted portions that make the examples NOT apply - those examples in the AC clearly DO apply, but it's the sentences BEFORE...
It was the friend's uncle's brother-in-law's 2nd cousin - not the friend. And it was a 100 mpg carb, and it ran on water.
So certainly, _IF_ the AD explicitly calls out non-TC'd aircraft (and more do these days) then the AD obviously applies, and I thought I said that...
Separate names with a comma.
