What is the "break" you are referring to? To me that means an overhead break entry to a pattern...

The "break" is when the stall occurs and the aircraft nose (and sometimes right wing) drops abruptly. We instructor guys refer to it as a break. Now overhead breaks - just plain cool! 8)

Well I've moved on from the Cessna - and I've done a Su-26M for stunt aircraft. Joe, if you want I'll send you any of my assignments (that have been passed or yet to be done), if you PM me your e-mail.

Wilco - but ya know every "A" you get because of our help gets another pint on the tab!

Well, I don't get A's it's a different marking system. We have simple pass, merit and distingtion on National Diploma's - and I've already passed this unit.

This is just for merit - BUT - I'll buy you all a round of Budweiser...

First ideas - it needs to have a maximum chord somewhere near the front for economic reasons - and it shouldn't get to a speed or angle to stall. The wings will be thick for high lift: low speed. Swept back as it's reaching near transonic region - increased efficiency as well. Low dihedral for lateral stability.

Just remember : AoA causes a stall, irrespective of speed - which I'm sure you know, just be careful of the wording. We got hammered for that all the time in our classes. The stall speed is a good indication of an impending stall, but it's the change of the relative wind which causes the increase in AoA thereby causing a stall. Swept wings also contribute to lat stability as well.

Why don't you just urinate in a cup instead of buying me a bud and give me the dollar!

Yes, my wording in the actual assignments is always better. At least I try to make it better - there's a reason it's called a high incidence stall. But everyone knows that !

I will urinate in a cup for you, but I won't give you the dollar. 8)

Fine I'll just piss in a cup for you too!

Hydraulics time !


Anyone know any good sites on hydromechanical flight controls? I need to talk about how ALL flight control systems work from mechanical to fly-by-optics.
