| Subject: | France: Deauville & Honflur |
Enjoyed Uk to Deauville Friday. Cycled to Honflur; very pretty, 11km ride, coastal
road back. Flew straight over the water from Littlehampton to Le Havre on
the way out and tracked the Normandy Landing beaches round to Cherborg on the
way back.
Thing is I am confused about what's intended for the Coastal airfields; Calaise,
Cherbourg etc; they seem to have up to 5 zones around them and NOTAM'd as if
they are closed but then they are actually open as normal.
Had no problems at all flying through Cherbourg.
Also what the situation with airfields marked A/A FRENCH only; is that radio or
are foreigners not permitted there?

a/a French just means all radio is in French as long as you make your calls in
French then no problem.
I use an idiot sheet. They laugh at me including my French passengers.

Are you saying you use 5-10 of flaps for take-off ?
Mine stays on the ground for ages if I forget (!) to put
the flaps down !
I use 15 degrees on tarmac and 19 on grass.
With a 10 knot headwind I am off in 250 yards on tarmac
and 350 yards on grass (if it isn't too bumpy which messes
up the aerodynamics), Density altitude is normally about
300 feet though.

| Subject: | Radiator duct and cooling |
I fitted my rad duct and the radiators and its all fine. Cowling fits as
well..
However the roof of the duct is pretty much up against the firewall. I am
assuming that i need to open the roof of the duct to provide an exit for
the air which comes in through the two round holes in the cowling. Is this
correct? Also I seem to remember that there is a ratio between inlet and
cooling air exhaust. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks

Go to Cooling 101 in the techniques section of my website:
www.customflightcreations.com. It was also published in the flier and is
on other sites on the web.

Hi Richard,
Yes.
When I was based at latitude 41N and had a 4500 concrete runway at
sea level, I never used flaps for T/O. Never had a performance issue, but I
will admit to not carefully collecting flight test data on take off run. Sadly,
my BlueMountain data logging feature was discontinued in my G4 making
new collection more onerous.
At latitude 33 where the average temp feels 20F warmer, more humid,
and starting at 900' AGL, my habit is to use a small amount of flap on
my grass strip. Recall that with our flaps, lift increases in the early part
of travel and less in the late travel whereas drag increases mostly in the
late travel. Without flight test and therefore only my opinion/experience
5 - 10 of flaps increases lift (and minimally at t/o speed, induced drag)
and minimally increases form drag. Perhaps at half flap the lift is maxed
out without too much extra drag, I would think at 19 you are getting
more drag without much more lift. My strip is far too rough to take careful
measurements, but perhaps Europa could try a wee bit of CFD since they
have the form data and the software.
Cheers,
--------
