| Subject: | Don E's flare/float Observations |
My numbers on final are exactly what Don Emch quoted in carrying 60 mph
on final gives some time in the flare float.
and is helpful on windy days when the gusts can go to a lull and that
extra few mph helps not to 'drop out' if you get
behind trees that shield the wind or just hit a lull.
55 mph is the sweet spot for my Piet giving enough time to feel for the
runway but not enough to contemplate life
and 50 gives you no grace, no second chances, no call from governor, or
no kitchen pass from embarrassing touchdowns
but if executed properly yields a very short landing roll.
Your mileage may vary.

As I'm a mogas user, I've grown tired of hauling 5 Gallon cans, and
hoisting them to the top of my wing. I'm envisioning a truck bed mount
transfer tank. Anyone built one, or used one?
Safety is important, as is convenience. I'm imagining a 40-50 gallon
tank with a 12v pump.
Thanks,

| Subject: | Aileron hinge gap |
Hello all,
The plans call for a 3/8" gap between the wing and the top of the
aileron. Is this for the barn door hinges to fit, or to leave enough
space for the aileron to deflect down? I'm using a piano hinge which is
3/16 thick, should I drop it to a =BC inch or so?
Thanks!

Hi Jack.
I'm at the same stage and decided to go with the plans. That area is
going to have cloth, and tape on the edge, along with the paint. I
figured that the extra 1/8 or so would come in handy. When its all
together, I guess you could plane the trailing edge to get a perfect
look anyway.... I cut out my left side aileron spars yesterday/today.
Spent the afternoon making the aileron bellcranks. Hope to glue the spar
for the front of the aileron after I drill the holes for the bellcrank.
Isn't this stage fun?

Hi Kirk:
Glad to see you are back. Went to your blog. Saw the landing gear
part also. I got a free set of spindles from a Tcraft and tried to build
a landing gear using them. To explain further, they are tapered and take
two different size bearings. there is no way that I can find to put a
tube in between them for alignment. They are driving me nuts, I feel
your pain.
Congratulations on the new job. Closing trade schools is one of the
stupidest things administrations do, but politically correct. Everyone
is going to college right?
By the way, there is a blade called a "zipper" a 6" by 1/16" fiberglas
reinforced blade that runs on a 4 1/2" grinder with the guard off. You
have to be real careful, but it slices through steel like a hot knife
through butter and you can back off before you get the steel too hot.
