I can land short with no flaps and roll out at most 300 ft. Landing with no flaps is a lot of fun, no stress on the arm, pulling back. Generally when I land slow, lets say 55-60mph over the numbers and then at 5 ft off the runway I flair and add just a touch of throttle the tail will hit first. So I have plenty of elevator. When I do wheel landings I go about 5mph faster and let it set ever so nicely that I usually don't know I'm down, I glance at the wheels to see that their moving, then I drop the power and the tail comes down nice and easy. When lifting off I get possitive control on the elevator and responds very nicely. Sealing the gaps are well worth it. -------- kitfoxmike model IV, 1200 speedster 912ul Do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=103759#103759 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:06:45 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Gap seals From: "kitfoxmike" Dan, I'm just now working on the forward section of the fuse, the wings are done. I think this is good since I started the build in August of last year. I'm doing slow build. It's been a real fun build, I don't want to do another one, I would rather be flying, but never the less the build has been very fun. Mike, For me this is slow, if you know how I fly, you would think this is slow. I to date this year have about 750 landings and over 50 hrs. I can put in 20 touches in 45 minutes. Many times I'll be doing 80 over the numbers and land 500 ft down the runway. When I want to land short, I think my speed is around 50 I don't look, all I know is I'm nice and short and hit the very edge of the runway. Why not put the 50 over the fence, that will probably be more on track. When I fly I try all sort of landings, real short, extended pattern everything I can think of, that way when I need to vear from the norm, I can handle it without any thought. I even ask the tower for various clearances while doing a one wheel touch and go. At first they didn't want to respond back, now they do. -------- kitfoxmike model IV, 1200 speedster 912ul Do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=103863#103863 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:23:23 AM PST US From: Stan Tew Subject: Kitfox-List: Model 2 for sale I will be taking the remains of a Model II to Sun 'N Fun next month to be put in the Fly Market. It has a complete fuselage with some bent tubes, I think that someone with appropriate knowledge & welding skill could reapir it. It has the left wing although damaged is repairable and the lift strut. There is a complete panel, fuel tanks, droop style wing tips etc. There is a 2nd Chantz parachute. There is no right wing, only the fuel tank that I removed from it. This aircraft suffered a hard landing and has been de-registered. You can use it for parts. If you wish to fly it you will need to rebuild it, have it inspected, and issued a new certificate. You can't relicense it under the old certificate. The engine which had a cold seizure of the rear piston, repairable, will be in the engine section of the Fly Market. The GSC prop hub and 2 of the 3 blades will be there as well. I had originally purchased it with the notion of salvaging some of the instruments for my Model 2 that I currently fly but have decided against that. I hope to sell the airframe complete - as is - you haul. STAN 2 Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

I don't think it's a viable way to power an airship. Just one of those things like screws being better in water than paddles. But (I always seem to have a "but") I think it could go a long way to turning the airships during landing, especially in a bit of wind. Any one on the group have any experience with airships??
