Default STABILIZER ON HOT-SPOT

Hello everybody

I´m thinking put a stabilizer between the fins of the hot-spot"bobcat fashion",trying to improve the low speed flight and to help maintain the nose high on landings. Canards and vectorial thrust works fine,but what y want is trying a stabilizer
So,if you have some ideas or advises,specially from experts in aerodynamics,please share. Thank you

Terei que visitar esse campo um dia...

A modificação vale o trabalho? Estava a pensar fazer o estabilizador mais pequeno,apenas a distancia entre as 2 derivas,mas tenho duvidas acerca da eficacia de semelhante dispositivo,especialmente com o nariz alto,pois o estabilizador deve flcar na sombra e logo ineficaz ou quase.
O que aconteceu ao Hotcat?É muito diferente em vôo?

Cumprimentos

Com certeza vale a pena, se voce quer voar de maneira mais "firme" e estavel... O problema de voce fazer um estabilizador entre as duas derivas e que como elas vao estreitando ate as pontas, iria ficar pequeno demais para este aviao. a respeito da eficiencia do estabilizador na "sombra" aerodinamica do aviao, voce pode ficar tranquilo.. sem problemas mesmo com o speed brake aberto na frente dele. O voo e bastante diferente do Hotspot... fica ate facil demais!

Este aviao continua voando atualmente nas maos de um colega nosso com uma P-80 ... o unico inconveniente deste aviao e que ele e muito grande e um pouco dificil de transportar em um carro medio... o comprimento total e de 90 polegadas de comprimento e 78 de envergadura

Se voce visitar o nosso clube, tente fazer a visita em novembro, que e a data de nosso evento
anual..com certeza vc vai gostar.

Um abraço, Enrique.
