Subject: [Q-List] Brake (Anvil) Rubbing Tire Hey guys,
Some of you saw my photos of the dried brake fluid on my brake caliper and now I have another brake related issue I need your experience to help with. First, I was able to get the caliper all cleaned up and everything looks good so I am going to keep an eye out for small leaks.
Now my problem is that the anvil (inside part of the brake caliper) is rubbing up against the tire. No matter how I try and line it up it still rubs the tire just enough to stop it from spinning freely. I even thought maybe I have too much air in the tire causing it to bulge out too far. I will double check that in coming days just in case. I thought I might could get a grinder and grind down the anvil a 1/4 inch or so.....
Any other thoughts? I am certain the anvil is correctly installed onto the caliper and the bolts have no issues lining up and going in.

Re: Brake (Anvil) Rubbing Tire
Don't get me wrong, it was very tight, but we were able to get it not to rub.
Good luck! ----------------------------------------- From: "Corbin via Groups.Io" To: main@q-list.groups.io Cc: Sent: Thursday March 26 2020 12:29:20PM Subject: Re: [Q-List] Brake (Anvil) Rubbing Tire Awesome....I will go back and look at some old photos that I took to make sure I place them just like they were.

Re: Brake (Anvil) Rubbing Tire

That would certainly be an easy fix. These were the size on before and on the right side without issue. Nonetheless, I could look into the width difference between the two and go from there. Corbin

I think the 5.00 x 5 tire size is half your trouble. The 4.00 x 5 would be narrower yielding more clearance from sidewall to caliper.

Now my problem is that the anvil (inside part of the brake caliper) is rubbing up against the tire. No matter how I try and line it up it still rubs the tire just enough to stop it from spinning freely. I even thought maybe I have too much air in the tire causing it to bulge out too far. I will double check that in coming days just in case. I thought I might could get a grinder and grind down the anvil a 1/4 inch or so.....
Any other thoughts? I am certain the anvil is correctly installed onto the caliper and the bolts have no issues lining up and going in.

Actually, I have one after-all...it is a large file for email so I uploaded as an unlisted video on YT: https://youtu.be/R7v9q9lUnkU

Re: Sparrow strainer stall
Jay Scheevel
Thanks for the standard practice guidance, David. Always appreciated. Cheers, Jay

Gall Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2020 4:09 PM To: main@q-list.groups.io Subject: Re: [Q-List] Sparrow strainer stall Javafoil, of course! Try to design so that the elevator’s natural float angle is correct for the best rate-of-climb airspeed. This is the desired condition in case of trim failure and/or total loss of elevator control linkage. It’s slow, but allows completion of almost any long overwater flight before fuel exhaustion, and slow enough to do a reasonable job of landing using only power to “flare.” (Or reflex if you have one. 😉) Springs as a primary pitch trim system are always a bad idea. If you use springs, try to use them as “down” springs only, meaning that the spring pushes the elevator in the same direction that forward control stick pressure would push it. The spring should work against the elevator’s natural aerodynamic desire to bring the nose up, except at very slow air speeds (slower than Vy) it’s OK to have a spring helping to bias the nose up, but limit that spring so that you can’t “trim into a stall” at least not at normal or forward CG. Matthew Curcio could probably chime in here with some industry-standard advice....

Thanks David, I will keep at it. Maybe I will add a little reflex to the trailing edge. It is possible to design the elevator so pressure loads are essentially zero when it is not deflected. I can load the GU to see what it does, because it did not require sparrow strainers. It may have required some spring assisted trim, I don’t recall. I am using Javafoil. It is Martin Hepperle’s freeware. I like it because it is simple and I am simple. Cheers, Jay Nice work. Your modified LS1 elevator would go a long way toward reducing the workload required of the sparrow strainers, but you’d still need something like sparrow strainers to push the TE down for normal ops. The Roncz airfoil’s elevator is intentionally designed with a slight “reflex” on the trailing edge just so that it won’t need sparrow strainers or trim tabs. I suppose that with a little more work you could achieve the same with your modified LS1 elevator. (BTW, what software is that?)

Hi Bruce, A few years ago, I tried modeling the existing LS1 and only changing the shape of the elevator to try to eliminate the strong asymmetric pressure on the trailing edge (which is the reason you need the sparrow strainer). The reasoning was, that maybe someday, I would build a new set of elevators with the revised shape and leave the sparrow strainer off because it would not be needed. Here is a comparison of the pressure distribution on the the original LS1 for 0,3,and 6 degrees AOA (first graph) and for the same airfoil with the revised elevator (second graph), which would fit in the same slot. Note the difference in pressure on the top/bottom near the trailing edge. The modified version provides slightly lower lift than the original.
