Check the Pietenpol Air Camper plans: I believe the original had an articulated tail gear arrangement, such as depicted.
Point taken. However, my intention was to note that carb heat is a "must-have" for this engine. Even the genny application had a warm-air system...
Also, the stock carb is designed for 3600rpm. Since we were propping the engine such that the max rpm, static, was 3150rpm, the stock carb did not...
Direct-drive, with a 54x26 Tennessee prop, the 5, or 6, engines I have set up turn 3150-3200 rpm. With the stock genny carb, they get erratic...
4AO-84: Factory rating is 35hp at 3600rpm. When propped with a wood 54x26 propeller, turns 3150rpm +/-. According to the propeller load, makes...
Thanks, Doug! I will play with it, this next weekend. This sounds an awful lot like the old "Razorback" covering system, but with lighter fabric.
Doug, humor an idiot, please: when you state "resin", what material are you referring to? I have covered model airplanes for years, using...
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se Interesting read. Thanks!
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se I would never take it as a joke! You just described the...
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se Agreed: it works. However, a flat plate will laso work,...
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se I believe the nomenclature you are refering to is "TLAR"....
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se I am beginning to see a pattern, here: Folks are under the...
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se Your points are valid. High density altitude conditions are...
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se My main consideration is getting the best lift from a given...
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se Gent's, that is a fair amount of information to digest! Thanks!
Re: Nerd alert! Airfoil Comparison: Modified NASA 65018 vs Clark Y, and NACA 23000 se Bilski, Clanon didn't peg it as the 65018: I did, in my...
This is a question for the flight characteristics, between the 65018 (CH-701, Savannah), and other common airfoil sections. The reason for...
In two day's time, the thread is covered-up in comments! This must be a "hot" subject! :) A lot of good information has been presented, and I...
I have a single-ignition engine, with a magneto. I was wondering if I could piggy-back an electronic ignition, to fire the same plug in the...
Come on out, and get some grub!
