    Hello guys Showing off with lots of altitude make no sense at all. The only real number is the service ceiling as defined and with MTOM. Sorry to be so blunt. Heinz Lang Kitfox IV-1200 R582

    Subject: Re: rudder trim tab
    A trim tab is something between 5 to 10% in size of the movable ruder (or elevator) area behind the hinge line. engine offset 1-2 degree normally, more on slow airplane less on fast plane. Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: Noel To: kitfox-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 4:28 AM Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Re: rudder trim tab Many airplanes are designed to have the vertical stab offset so the prop wash won't skew the plane... in out planes we have the possibility of changing from a left turning 582 to a right turning 912 so the factory not knowing what we will install can only set the vert stab straight. That means to me at least that some sort of tab is going to be necessary. noel From: owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of KITFOXZ@aol.com Sent: 19 May 2009 12:07 AM To: kitfox-list@matronics.com Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: rudder trim tab Lynn, Lowell and Mike, others lurking, I didn't mean to condemn trim tabs and especially cockpit controlled trim tabs. The point I was hoping to make is that I feel the emphasis should be on building a good airframe that is straight and true. I don't want to have a bird that is all bent up and those imperfections compensated for with hairy items hanging off of every control surface. These are harsh sounding words I know. I am just trying to make the point with exaggerations. Engine torque is proportional to power setting and so is the resultant yaw. I want to cancel it immediately at it's source with engine thrust line offset. Washers, shims, another engine mount perhaps, are the cleaner ways to make an airplane fly straight. What I want to accomplish is a glide that is straight and true first and then do what has to be done to make the engine pull it in as straight of a path as can be done even with the imperfections of that rotating, torque inducing, P factor producing, wind mill out in front. Of course a cockpit controlled trim tab is used for cross wind trim and elevator trim is used for load CG variations. But, to permanently bend a control surface to make up for a faulty thrust line is wrong I feel. If your car has a front end alignment problem, do you alter the rear axle alignment to make it go down the road straight? --Albeit in a crab angle? I love this forum because there are so many points of view that can get aired. Dead horses are beaten. Feelings are even stepped on but, when it all is tallied up some do and don't are discovered. Some best practices are established and airplanes end up flying. Got to turn in for the night. John John P.

Eastern Daylight Time, orcabonita@hotmail.com writes: <orcabonita@hotmail.com> There is nothing wrong with trim tabs. All sorts of much more advanced and high performance aircraft use trim tabs. Johns washer idea is a good one, but I doubt it will be enough, and even when you get close to correct, you will still probably get yaw changes with power, which is exactly why many manufactured aircraft have rudder trim. Even modern jet airliners have rudder trim... The theory of building a perfectly straight airplane is good and something to strive for, but the reality is that you will still probably need a trim tab in the end. An electric adjustable rudder tab is even better... Mike -------- &quot;NO FEAR&quot; - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

    Subject: (OFF-TOPIC) License WAS: rudder trim tab
    > From: JC Propeller Design [propellerdesign@tele2.se] > Have you got your license back? Negative, Jan. Well ... I didn't lose it either. After my cardiac arrest of July, I lost my driving license for one year and after notifying the Norwegian Aviation Authorities, I grounded myself for one year. Since I am over 50 years old and, according to the Norwegian Ultralight rule, I need a medical certificate each year. My cardiac incident happened only three weeks after that medical check. I decided then to talk to my doctor who said that if I regain my driving license next year, she would have no objection to let me fly again. The problem is: I checked the Norwegian law and there is no difference for PPL or ultralight: Heart attack = no license. The think is: we all know that some pilots still fly after a cardiac problem. The thing to do is: to find "doctor Nice." But I refuse to do that. My GP knows me for years and I will work to make her understand that if I can drive a car, I am certainly not more a danger for society if I fly my Kitfox. I have now an appointment for the cardiologist the 10th of June, then an appointment with my GP for the 18th of June. That day, at about 09:00, I will know if I can open a bottle of Champagne! :-) Cheers, Michel Verheughe Norway Kitfox 3 - Jabiru 2200 Do not archive <pre><b><font size=2 color="#000000" face="courier new,courier"> </b></font></pre></body></html>

    Subject: RE: isogonic lines - semantics
    > From: Paul Franz - Merlin GT [paul@eucleides.com] > Heading and course are not the same. Course and track are the same. Of course it is, my dear Paul. Of course, in your own language! My point was not to tell what is "correct" but to stress that language is something that evolves and has different meanings in different places. I hope you don't argue my quoting of the R.A.F, do you? I have been involved with maritime education in English, for the past 26 years and if you wonder where I learnt English, being a native French speaker living in Norway, it is from my profession, where I am in charge to ensure the quality of our products, both graphically and verbally. Which English to chose when you write for the international seafaring community? We chose British English. And, in Britain, course and heading are the same thing. Regarding the magnetic declination vs. the magnetic variation, I know very well that, especially among American aviators, the variation is what is used. But then, I ask: How do you call what I call the magnetic variation, i.e. the yearly variation of the magnetic north? The thing is: Seafarers are used to see that in the margin of their charts, as they may want to adjust it since their charts may be a few years old. Note that seafarers also use Mercator projections and not Lambert projections as airmen do. I guess that the notion of a yearly variation has become obsolete among pilots since their charts must be up-to-date with the latest AIRAC that is published every 28 days. Flying with years old aviation maps is dangerous!

    Blimey! You mean to say, old boy, that the R.A.F. and the rest of the world are not in agreement? Stop the presses, it's time to re-write the History books. Shiver me timbers, mon ami, we'll just have to agree to disagree. (How's that for a bit of mixed language metaphors, or something....?) A GPS sure takes a lot of the mystery out of flying, doesn't it? Pick a spot to go to....climb up to your favorite altitude, and follow the yellow brick...ooops, make that follow the pink line 'til it says you're there. I love figuring out all the different angles, wind speeds, headings, and courses, but when you just want to go someplace for the joy of flying, nothing beats following the pink line, and of course (there's that word again) following your progress with an Aeronautical Chart.

    you can pic the tubing up at most any hardware store. It is just the tubing used for running water to the ice maker in your fridge. If the OD is too large, you can put a small section in a drill spin it up and hit it with a file or sand paper to turn it down to the desired OD. Same with ID if you cant find the right diameter, just run a bit through it. I ordered 20' of new bushing material from Airdale and had to turn both the ID and OD. only took a few minutes to make it happen. -------- DO NOT ARCHIVE Leonard Perry aka SNAKE Soldotna AK Avid &quot;C&quot; / Mk IV 582 IVO IFA Full Lotus 1260 #1 snake oil salesman since 1-22-2009 hander outer of humorless darwin awards Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=244797#244797

    Subject: RE: Yahoo news article - The Great Ethanol Scam
    I am the first to appreciate how an immediate cut of ethanol production could have serious ramifications for farmers. I do think the government has to stop throwing money at using ethanol as a fuel they don't have to stop entirely tomorrow. I also think the pork & poultry producers will be able to take up a lot of the excess corn produced. Dave seems to be try9ing to find out how high he can get on hooch!

I live in farm country and am all too aware of farmers worried about gambling what to put their acres up in given that by the time the corn is ready for market the politicians and the speculators could have trashed their life savings. It's a nasty situation but the farmers are just pawns in the game, they stand to make good money or lose their overalls over decisions they have absolutely no control over. Maybe farmers should join an organisation with the political clout of the NRA, then you could blame farmers. But then they might shoot back! ;-) "Voting farmers" - in farm country you have 1 or 2 votes per 100 acres of farmland, in a suburb how many votes per 100 acres - none of them farmers! I doubt the vote matters. Personally I think ethanol is just viewed as "doing something" about our dependence on foreign oil, without really researching whether that something is a good solution at all. But, bringing it back to Kitfoxes, I am *still* rebuilding my entire fuel system to run on the inevitable corn-gas that I have to use, so I do tend to rant on the topic, sorry.

After my cardiac arrest of July, I lost my driving license for one year and after notifying the Norwegian Aviation Authorities, I grounded myself for one year. Since I am over 50 years old and, according to the Norwegian Ultralight rule, I need a medical certificate each year. My cardiac incident happened only three weeks after that medical check.

    I put in the data for a Kitfox 1200 65 hp in my propeller program, it is using a curve for 4-stroke engine when it come to altitude performance, I don't know if the 2-stroke is different in loosing power with alt. but any way. where it climb 100 fpm is said to be practical ceiling assuming it will do 102 mph at sea level WOT, (drag calc) it will reach almost 12000 (Climbing 100 fpm) this at MTOW 1200 lbs. with TOW 1000 lbs it will reach 16000 (climb 100 fpm) with 80 HP (max speed 108.6 mph) it will go to 15000 at 1200 lb and 19000 at 1000 lb max alt will be 3000 feet higher, (where it "climb" at 0 fpm) it will take 60 min to climb the last 3000 feet! this is theory and it use a standard atmosphere, and differences in aircraft drag have big influence at alt, where power is limited, ( at 15000 power is 55%) less drag and there is more power leftover for climb.
