Without flaps, slips are the best way to manage descent profile and I always like to bring Scout in a little high and then slip it down to the numbers. Rarely am I able to nail the airspeed and altitude on final to where I don't have to adjust something (unlike Jeff Boatright, who scared me coming in as close to the treetops as he did after his guns jammed and he had to run back home. It seemed like he was on rails all the way down to the turf). Maybe one of the builders planning to use Oratex can sew in a couple of zippers that would allow the empennage covering to be unzipped to test flight characteristics with bare bones out there? -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=421506#421506 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:53:09 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: It's FINALLY a hangar... From: "tools" Not only is it a hangar, it's being used as one! N2RN is up and flying. Our field is rather varsity, so I took off and flew 10 miles to 9A5 for fuel. Son met me there and we went another 5 miles south to a really nice wide and long grass strip. He is soloed and only has around 10 hours, nearly 2 years ago. Threw him in the back and I jumped up front and off we went. I was REALLY proud of him, did a fantastic job. Flew to another nearby grass strip, hitting 9a5 for a hard surface runway touch and go on the way, dropped him off there and then I brought it home. I'm pretty much gone the next two weeks, but after that should get him soloed again and making progress on his license.
