the glid setting on an ARF
 

I have a Katana 140 with a Brison 2.4 and it flies great!!! HOwever I do have a question about it. My friend tells me my "glid" is set at 90 degrees from the factory and that the optimal setting is 17.5 degrees. How do I change this setting. The owners manual does not discuss it.

I have found that by adjusting the "framus" a little to the right or left I can usually
get the "glid" right where I want it.......

The muffler bearings and tailight pushrods are also adjustable, and will affect flying qualities.

If you use a factor of the inverted drag coefficient divided by the fram setting on the engine crankcase you will normally find the glid setting of 12.9875' to 21.6843673' SW will be sufficient.

Mustn't forget to resonance level and torque angle of the resistive vacuum-chamber.

Have you checked the distributivepage documentation? You can locate more information on www.dejanews.com.

For the love of God make sure the trailing bolts are tight! Destruction and Great Vengance will result if they self-loosen.


:D


All kidding aside - we're not sure what you mean by the "glid". Can you supply more details?

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

Are you sure you are not talking about the "glide" while experiencing dead stick? if so this number is computed by dividing the weight of the plane with no fuel by the wing loading ratio. Then you add 3 to get the proper angle.

Why of course!!! I comletely forgot the muffler bearings and the resonance level. Why that would completely change all the computations I've loaded into the time machine with Marty!! It could affect the entire space/time continuum!!!

Golly...this is a great source of information. I can shut down those pesky mainframes at MIT now....

Hey thanks alot for being serious about this. I will run the numbers and see what it is.

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

The internal fuse turbulants can actually cause a slight lift cancelling out the gravitational force of the earth and all other planets.

There's a setting in your radio to offset this or your plane will stay in the air indefinitely.

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

I hear if you get prop wash and apply it then you get a better ratio... You can buy it any local hobby shop..

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

To the guy with the time machine....Would you go back to Oct of 01 and stop me from flying that new 1/4 scale extra?

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

Just wondering if anyone checked the Flux Capacitor? Could be thats it's not generating the optimal 1.2 jigawatts required to achieve the corect "Glid" Ratio.

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

You guys crack me up! LOL

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

I believe it's 1.21 jigawatts ... oh no, wait, that's for time travel :D

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

Maybe I had better not fly my new 1/4 scale Extra in today's time!

I'm sorry to say that neither Marty nor myself had such great ideas as expressed here! Why we may could even clean the flux capacitor with prop wash and save the entire world!!! Now isn't that a much better thing to do than go back and save one little ol' airplane in October?!?!

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

The last guy that changed his "glid" setting dissappeared forever. DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

Do you really feel that "Saving the world" would help this chap change his
"glid" setting ????? I think the emphasis should be on the "framus" and perhaps
cleaning it with prop wash as stated above

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

Prop-Wash™ is great stuff!
[*] When applied to the exterior fuse and wing it acts as a sloughing agent - dust, glow fuel, castor oil and bug innards don't stick, makes cleanup very easy![*] A small amount added to your fuel-mixture cuts fuel-foaming and allows one to run leaner mixture for more power![*] Shines and protects rubber, plastic, vinyl surfaces![*] Contains a a unique, patent pending UV protection system to help block damaging UV rays![*] Repels mosquitos![*] Freshens breath![*] Whitens teeth!

Hey I had surgery to get my glid fixed and my wife hasn't stopped smiling!
But you know what they say, "after a half hour it's just push-ups"...........:D

RE: the glid setting on an ARF
 

If you take into consideration the definition of the word "glid" I did not have "glid" with any blah blah blah......
I beleave all that needs to be said about this subject has already been said.
Could not resist.

Miloh.
