Subject: | What Are You Thankful For...? |
Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite kind of comments is when write to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists. Its
always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?
The List Contribution Site is:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator

I normally don't pass on emails like this, but this is just about the
wildest thing I have ever seen in aviation. Hmmm, where is the closest
mountain?

Open the forum and view the video
And they say we are crazy for flying airplanes with no engines/prop

If flying was the language of man...
Soaring would be the poetry

Dan,
How did Mr. Perkins build the control horns? And how does he get rid of the
slack in the cables?

Subject: | Re: elevator control question |
>From my notes:
Alan James in the UK Recommends
Elevators:
20 degrees up/15-20 degrees down. I've run out of elevator before now
in a machine with something less than 20 degrees up and found myself
almost bending the stick trying to get a decent break during a stall test.
Don't be tempted to add any more - 20 degrees up is perfect.
Rudder:
I have fitted stops to retain 1" clearance between rudder and elevator
at full deflection on G-BUCO. This works fine for me.
Ailerons:
You don't want the down-going aileron spar to clout against the wing. I've
fitted blocks to the fuselage floor under the ends of the aileron bellcrank
to
act as stops. They allow a gap of about (?)" between the wing and the bottom
edge of a closed aileron. And whilst we are talking ailerons, tape over the
gap on the upper surface during covering - it lightens the stick load
considerably.
AJ.

Subject: | Lengthened control tube |
Quick question to the list,
Does the control torque tube get lengthened in the longer fuselage?
I couldn't find this mentioned in the archives.
Have a happy Thanksgiving,
Ryan
