RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

A notable idea Hillville.

I know, lot's of people have been wondering why I don't say something... Well, I tried the usual methods ... you know, email, phone calls. But good ole' Daryl didn't...

RE: Andy Lennon

Well, I don't know about the part count, but they aren't what I would call simple parts. Have you looked into one at one time?

Andy Lennon

Has anyone built one of Andy Lennon's planes?

I know they are not what you call "easy build". But I just want to know if anyone has attempted or has completed any of his planes.

Thanx

RE: Industry to rub out MAAC?

Reo, insurance in only part of the deal. Who sets up guidelines on how to setup a safe flight line? Who lays down a protocol on how to setup, start, taxi, and fly your plane? The rules and...

RE: Industry to rub out MAAC?

Cost of insurance and insurance policies aside, what might happen to MAAC is a real thing. I'm not sure how I missed it... but the comment made earlier - somehow escaped my eye. (I must get to bed...

RE: Industry to rub out MAAC?

Very well put Jim. When someone is in the "suing mood" they tend not to care who or what they have their sights set on... and we all pay for it.

Brad, we are well mannered here mostly because of...

RE: Industry to rub out MAAC?

OK, I have to ask... how many members in the club?
I'm not going to get into what a club should offer, or what justification a club has to say: "Hey kid, you want in?... $160.00 buddy." Maybe I...

RE: Why Lifting Stab?

And hence, the whole variable of competing. Nothing is a mechanical process repeatable on demand. If pilots didn't have an angle they stick to, then there wouldn't be much fun in competing. It's the...

RE: Industry to rub out MAAC?

Although it would be nice to have a service oriented MAAC, the resources to offer anything above what it now does is absent. To take it a step further would require more staff hours - or more staff,...

Industry to rub out MAAC?

In a recent club meeting held this past Thursday, a comment was made about the possibility of MAAC memberships dropping over the next few years. It was then that I realized what was happening.

RE: Why Lifting Stab?

OK, on that point... let's not forget the change in pressure around the entire plane as it flies. This pressure envelope is measured many times the distance of the span. We don't really care about it...

RE: Nervous Airplane

Now that would be a logical explanation. If it's a V-tail... you just know the mechanical stuff (pending how it's rigged) would be the first place to ask questions.

RE: Nervous Airplane

If you have a dirty prop, it may apply more torque to the roll. You would naturally trim your ailerons to compensate. But then, when you reduce speed the plane may roll the other way. At that point,...

RE: Why Lifting Stab?

Careful now, you don't want to confuse anything.

Let's understand a few things about some designs. The Telemaster was designed for a specific purpose (pulling a load). Do some research, and you...

RE: WHY DO YOU BUILT KITS?

I like what a lot of people here have to say. I'm in agreement with all those who love to create something from flat stock. The bottom line is "creation". People do things with their free time to...

RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

Yes, Ken does have a new plane. However, it's a little bigger then the rest. I can't say what it is, but I will give you this: The Tri-Pacer kit (in box) is about 9 pounds. This kit, add 5 more. The...

I should post some video of my friend Al at the controls. When the plane's in his hands, you want to hide under a table and watch through the fingers covering your face. He can make a poky ol'...

I'm with you Roger. What's with that shirt?!! :D

I'm happy things went well. As a reminder, the flaps work nicely when used with a large engine (lots of weight), if you don't have the mass, then...
