I would like to see the drag values too.
I have been thinking about this issue- now, I am not any kind of aircraft guru,
completely new to aircraft- so I am just 'seeding' the discussion with an idea.
Have you ever used Shoo-goo? Great stuff. Much stronger and tougher than silicone
seal, yet comes in a squeeze tube.
I wish the feller in the lab coat in the video had demonstrated the drag of a tube
faired on only one side, because that is what I am thinking- run a bead of
shoo-goo down a cable, shape it into a 'V' between your fingers somehow.
A Kolber posted pics somewhere showing aluminum v-shaped fairings he had a sheet
metal shop brake for him. They were rivited to the sides, forming a trailing
edge streamlined shape. Don't know how effective they are (he had no test data
either) but it gave me the idea on the cable streamlining.

All the thoughts expressed here are right on target, but dont forget the common
simple/basic cause of carb flooding which is HEAVY FLOAT. With metal floats
- a leak/pinhole or with composite floats - soggy/porous.

With all the current excitement about cutting drag it occurs to me that
most of the examples shown have been for much higher speeds that the
ones we generally fly at.
I forget the maths now but doesn`t drag increase at the square of the
speed or something like that?
Streamling lift struts etc might be worth it, and it looks nice, but is
it worth it for cables at speeds of 50 to 70?
WW1 biplanes used tear drop shaped cables certainly but they were
operating at around 100mph and few of us reach that and live to tell the
tale.
Just a thought

Kolber's,
would it reduce drag if you was to fold a peice of vinal tape in half over the
cable to give it at least a 3/4 inch trailing edge reduce drag?
A year or tw
o ago someone posted drag values for parts of a Kolb, if I
remember right. I was amazed at the drag values for the cables on the tail.
One of you, with a lot more skill than me, can probable come up with an
airfoil for a cable!
Winter is not over yet, what do you think?

Streamlined wires have long been used in aircraft. There are a couple of
companies that still make them today. They're solid wire, rolled to the
streamline shape, then threads have to be formed at the ends... they're
special order, of course, made to the specific length you need... and
expensive.
Years ago, in U-control (control line) model airplane racing (these models
can go 200+ mph, on 60' cables of around .015 diameter), somebody figured
out that the lines were 80% or more of the drag, and came up with what was
termed "funny lines"... basically a streamlined enclosure to hold the two
lines close together, one behind the other. The original was a thin wall
tube slipped over the front wire, and a bit of tap wrapped around and stuck
to itself forming a tab in back, forming a crude airfoil shape. The rear
wire ran through the gap in the tape immediately behind the tube. Later,
molded plastic shapes were used. IIRC, they cleaned up in the speed events
at the Nationals that year... and funny lines were promptly banned
immediately afterwards.

This is overexposed, but you get the idea: OD 5/16" X 5/32" X 35", ID 1/8" X 1/4".
Got it at the local RC hobby shop, thinwall aluminum, weight 1/2 oz. Ought
to be able to slip a tail brace wire through it during cable assembly, Goop it
to an end fitting to keep it from pivoting. Use 2 pieces, each one attached
at an end fitting, leave the middle of the wire uncovered so you could still fold
the tail? Maybe squeeze it thinner so that it has less cross section?
Food for thought...

>Ellery
Ellery=2C
Yes=2C I bet it would....a lot.
What about this idea? I have a roll of heavy thickness aluminum tape=2C
the
kind air conditioning installers use (that's who I go it from!!). It has a
protective
tape on it.
What if we cut the tape to length=2C then bent it lengthwise=2C down the
middle?
Then we pulled off the protective tape. Next=2C carefully (!!) stick a len
gth of
nylon string exactly down the center on the crease-line (this to hold the a
luminum
tape back a bit from the blunt edge=2C sort of trying to maintain the airfo
il shape).
Now=2C with the cable good & tight=2C try to accurately adhere the tape o
nto one
edge of cable. Once you have the orientation accurate=2C begin pinching th
e two
sides of the tape.
It may take a couple of practice runs=2C but I bet a guy could make a rea
lly good
looking aluminum tape cable airfoils.

How much drag reduction to you expect to receive from streamlining 8 to 10
feet of 3/32" cable?
Doubt you or your Kolb would ever notice the difference.
The following does not pertain to cable air foils, but it does have
something to do with reducing drag and improving air flow to the prop on a
MKIII.
The first modification we made to my MKIII fuselage was replace the 7/16" or
1/2" round 4130 tubes with streamlined 4130 tubes at the rear of the
fuselage that brace the lower side of the rear engine mount. Don't know how
much good that did, but was bound to make some improvement removing that
drag and air turbulence right before it was fed into the cleanest part of
the prop arch.
Another thing we did that reduced drag was the main landing gear legs. Only
18" of .125" gear leg are exposed to the air stream.
Permanently enclosing the upper rear of the fuselage also reduced drag, as
did the keel faring on the bottom of the fuselage. The keel faring also
cleaned up air going to the prop.
Still the quickest MKIII until someone comes along that can out run me, side
by side.
Last race I had was at the Kolb Homecoming a couple years back with Steven
Green and his MKIII powered with a 912ULS. I beat hands down. ;-)
If only I could have out run John Williamson and his 912ULS powered Kolbra.
John was 10 mph quicker than Miss P'fer. Skinny Kolbs are faster than fat
ones.
