This stuff's too technical for me. All I know is on my large 45 lb MB339 with a 600 foot runway at 5500 feet altitude, if I don't use crow, she goes off the runway at landing because she refuses to slow down, and goes into ground effect no matter how much flap is dialed in...with crow, she lands in 300 feet. I think the ''dragginess'' mentioned in this thread is what I like about crow, it makes planes that glide forever much more predictable. Same thing applies to my boomerang XL.
And my Kingcat NEVER bounces with crow. Just nice glide path to runway, flare and settle. Will be trying crow on my ultra bandit maiden this weekend. Will get back to you all on how that works out.
Cheers all,
Shaz
So Shaz, since you started this whole discussion with your question on the other thread, I expect a full report (with technical explanation) on how crows works with your UB. I was actually considering trying it on my UB but I'll let you be the test pilot instead
