HOPE TO SEE YOU GUY'S AT WACO NEXT WEEKEND...


TTFN,

DANNO

Danno,

Can't make it. Have a few family commitments that came up this week. Sure wish I could, though. See you up here in Dallas July 12th.

Dan,
I'll be there Saturday AM with the Interceptor, Macchi, and Gripen. I'll probably have to drive home Saturday night, so I will have to get my two days worth of flying all done on Saturday.

Is this a Fun Fly or just a unscheduled weekend of flying? I looked for information on this and did not see anything on a Flyin at Waco this weekend. Any info would be great.

Non-scheduled jet takeover of the underused HOTMAC flying site!!

Actually most of us are members anyway, but there will be jet guys coming from all directions.

What is the CG location on your interceptor?. I will test fly my new one tomorrow and I want to compare notes. I have Marty's turbine wing configuration just like yours. Power is a RAM-750 with Tam's pipe, BVM bypass. Dry weight is 12.5lb in primer. I'm using the crow wing configuration as you recommended few years ago. I flew my last DF setup that way and it really helps it during landing.

Thanks in advance for your prompt response.

Ben,
I am not using Marty's wing. Both my wing and Marty's turbine wing uses the same airfoil as the original and both have some added wingspan, but I took all of the sweep out of the trailing edge of mine while Marty left about 5-10 degrees of sweep in the trailing edge of his.
The CG of my wing will be further forward than yours.

On my first ducted fan Interceptor (same wing I am flying now) I did quite a bit of experimenting with the CG location to try and solve the deep stall problem it was having at high angles of attack. I seem to remember moving it fore and aft a total of about 4 inches (2" forward, 2" aft of 25% MAC). At the more forward positions the elevator became less effective, and at the more aft positions it became more sensitive, but other than that it didn't really seem to effect the way it flew.

My suggestion would be for you to figure out the MAC of your wing and set your CG at about 27%. I think it will be safe to fly it there, and then you can change it to suit your own taste later if you like.

Good luck,

I will be there with the 106. Finally, a jetfly this year when I'm not working.

You folks will like the improvements to the HOTMAC site. It was nice before, and now it's nicer!

where can a find a map to the flying site. thanks barry

I'll see if the Concord has any seats left...

Have fun and get Fowler and Perry off their butts.

BARRY,

I WOULD IMAGINE THE BEST WAY FOR YOU TO COME IS TEXAS HWY 6... 6 CROSSES I-35, CONTINUE WEST ON 6 FOR APROX 5-6 MILES.. YOU WILL CROSS THE LAKE ON A BIG LONG BRIDGE.. THE FIRST EXIT AFTER YOU CROSS THE BRIDGE IS WHAT YOU WANT. I THINK IS SAYS SPEEGOVILLE III EXIT.. AFTER YOU EXIT YOU WILL NOTICE A PARK ENTRANCE WITH A GAURD SHACK.. THAT GOES INTO THE R.V.SECTION OF THE PARK.. DISREGARD THAT ENTRANCE.. CONTINUE WEST ON THE FEEDER ROAD ABOUT 1/2 MILE YOU WILL SEE THE SIGN HOTMAC FLYING SITE, TURN RIGHT THERE GO ABOUT ANOTHER 1/2 MILE THE GATE IS ON THE RIGHT..WE ARE GOING UP FRIDAY EVENING..IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CALL ME AT THE HOBBY SHOP TODAY OR TOMMORROW, I CAN GIVE YOU MY CELL NUMBER TOO..BRING THAT F-16!!! WANT TO SEE IT FLY!!!
