I asked on another forum for info' on the leading edged anti stall tip attachments without response. Does anyone know what angle and position these should be? Ron
Ron, bellow is a pic prom the BVM Installation manual of the Leading Edge Droops.
Installation:
- trim part to scribe line
- lay masking tape 5/8" from leading edge top and bottom
- trim away hatched area shown in fig. 3 until top and bottom edges line up with tape. trim ends as required.
- paint part now if desired, use cut away material to test paint
- cut double sided tape down centerline, trim to length, and apply to inside edges
- carefully line up top edge of droop to the tape and stick down
- insert waxed paper between bottom of wing and droop
- pull bottom edge of droop away from wing to remove backing of double sided tape. Slide waxed paper out, then press down bottom edge
What you can expect:
- shorter take off
- high "G" tight turns with no snapping tendency
- difficult to make snap roll
- safer and slower approach speeds
- slower and more stable landings
-
avoid high "G" inverted manuevers
