    All members and visitors should understand this:

    Prohibitive Danger and Risk "Praise in public and reprimand in private", remains a business maxim, logical, and an uncommon courtesy. Broadcast observations are at times logical, responsible, and irresistible. _ Aviation has been proven to be perilous when designers, builders, pilots...

    My Sky Skooter

    Honoring a request for only a small amount of courtesy and consideration as opposed to what would be required to be civil and humane hardly impedes freedoms but rather allows them. Refusing to often necessitates what is deserved. The paranoia, distrust, insults, neglect, and cowardice...

    It may not be optimal, but Tennessee Propeller will calculate diameter, pitch, and reduction for a given weight, power, and performance preference.

    Structural analysis and adjustment

    The sketches are not to scale. The variation between the size of the horizontal stabilizer in the top and side view reflect an oversight but serves as a reminder that the final design is pending. Irrespective of immediate structural considerations, the stabilizer and elevator will likely...

    Smilin' back at ya. Nary a hint from admin and continuing quite tentatively. Not to mention maintaining a safe altitude and landing area within safe gliding range, Bruce. Unanticipated meteorological and cerebral conditions must be factored in, in addition to other desired options and/or...

    Structural analysis and adjustment

    Reluctantly, this forum is as resistible as altitude. I'll apologize for the last time for resorting to encrypted language in an attempt to adjust - and the NSA has important matters to assess. This was intended as a tutorial especially to teach myself but also to allow others to avoid present...

    One final thought. The high concentrations and volume of double entendres and innuendos required to attempt to navigate civilly and with dignity could easily be taken the wrong way rather than productively and for the benefit of everyone. The website remains accessible for reference and to see...

    Structural analysis and adjustment

    Thanks much, Autodidact. I sometimes wish I were Chinese and the schedule may not allow what it requires. Heavy duty construction doesn't look as it once did either. Believe it or not, aerodynamics often outweigh gravitational and tectonic considerations on monoliths. It often worked out and...

    No straightedge and Joe Cocker finished it up. Two parallel pilot shafts are visible in the top view between the cockpit and engine. They guide the lower airfoil spars during attachment and support the center section while airborne. They will be shortened appropriately. The top wings (not...

    There should be a front view available ...wherever my wife put it. Maybe in the album. It's here someplace. I saw it. Tonight looks promising for a top view, Autodidact. Anyone able to conceptualize it before that wins enormous admiration and respect. Then mine can be revised to match it...
