Default RE: Hebert's Shinden

the only question mark in my mind and this is strictly from a design standpoint of having tested so many different things is that wing. It looks large, has a full 2 meter span and has a LOT of rake in it. I bet it rolls sweet. I am curious as to how it snaps and spin breaks. If I may ask, what's the chord at the root and at the tip?

Mike,
I don't remember the numbers. Maybe Hebert will finally kick in. The root is big, tip smaller. It rolls sweet, snaps better. The main problem with the spins is (as his caller) reminding him to drive it all of the way to the center. This one stops really fast. That is with the 160DZ. No surprise, there, you flying a YS.... ex-jet guys would have a soft spot for screaming engines
Just went to a Dingo, myself, and am loving it. Big time. Nothing like raw power, is there? I have a negative snap on video of my new plane; played slo-mo it is amazing how far it displaces when you cannot actually se it all happen, it is over in a moment. Power drives that. Did an avalanche with a negative snap, same thing.

Bryan always said that the available power plants are what drive his designs. He builds to the power; ergo, two meter wings again. Bigger presents better, if you have enough motive force. His next design also is driven by the amount of power available from the next generation YS offering. I want it, too!
