Jim loosen up man. I love your posts because of your great generosity of spirit. But don't make the JB6pack compulsory! You don't have a mortgage on new ideas. There are a lot of clever ideas out

Hello Charlie: My use of the terms "up" and "down" I have tried to clarify by stating the position of the trailing edge in relation with the wing's trialing edge. So I will reiterate in an

Dave, Thanks for your helpful and detailed post re the reflexor. I do understand that the reflexor and the elevator can be "tuned" for level flight by moving both in the same direction and I have

You know Jim, as I see it, there are at least the following groups out there: Those who get it Those who don't get it... yet Those who don't want to get it but might Those who won't get it Those who

David, Works for me. I'd envisioned two plates with beveled edges to form a groove, but your plan would hold the cables more securely. Besides, I'm quickly running out of the half Eagles! Larry

Richard, I have the airbrake mod installed. Hadn't heard of the engine fume problem previously. It seems to be plumbed in pretty tightly but at 100+knots air can get anywhere i suppose.(i don't know

Q: Is FULL down reflexor on the ailerons, on 870BM, the same aileron position as planes without a reflexor installed? A: No. Full down reflexor on N870BM meant that the trailing edges of the

Hey Jim: Lighten up. Most of us are convinced, most of the advice I see comes down to: If you are starting fresh do the JB6Pack AND the Gall wheel alignment. If you are further along you may

Hi Austin, Farry's is immaculate, I think you will get lots of useful info from him. I don't have a reflexer, I have the little tailplane type trimmer mounted on the fin. I did think about changing

Larry, I see what you are talking about. Next step would be a paper doll sim of the action as David suggested. I'm not sure the rudder response should be "exponential", maybe only the tailwheel

Fellas, Well we've certainly had interesting debates regarding the JB6Pack. We went 20+ years cracking up planes before Bob Farnam and I came out and said "here's how to fix your ground handling

Good suggestions, David. The "K" belcrank would also provide stronger centering action from the pedal return springs - not a bad thing. Might make a good winter project. Bob F.

Hi Jon and Richard, Rainy blighty is indeed england. Yes Richard, it's the airframe farry had for sale and it is quite tidy. Hope to get it as pristeen as his. He's only down the road and so i'll be

Larry, Yah, round corners. Since price is no object, you could use some of your surplus $5 gold pieces for radiussed corners. The gold will wear instead of the steel cables. Probably cost less than

Jim, All who agree with your suggestions have accepted them are quietly making the changes and will be grateful that they did. Don't allow the few who disagree the loudest stop you from

David, OK, I see what you're getting at. The only practical drawback I envision with hard geometric shapes is the possibility of wear on the cables as they cross the corners. As far as expense, well,

Peter, If you use the Falkner puck inside of a doughnut reflexor, I doubt you would need to hack the tail off of your plane to install. It would be a pain, but you flox and glass the doughnut

Hi Tim, I tested your rudder during bank question this past weekend in my Tri-Q2 with an LS1 canard with anhedral and standard rudder. I was doing laps around the pattern and building up landings

Jon - I as well reflex the nose down on final so I can see over the nose. As I slow down the nose seems to naturally pitch up. Once I touch down I reflex the tail down to keep it on the runway. Doug

Phil, Only about 15hrs to date with the Jab. Phil the way I see it aft elevator increases lift on the canard which transfers weight back onto the tail wheel during rollout and that is what we want
