Jay, I appreciate your offline comments and your continuing desire to cross every “T” and dot every “I”. Just know this plane is more forgiving than you think, unless you get it to far out

Jay, I concur with Jerry and Paul. You are way over thinking this. If your plane was built right, you should be able to hold the stick in neutral position, run up to lift off speed, pull back

Of course Jerry would say: I bet I am the only guy out their that doesn't understand a word of this.. I just get in, push up the power and go. So far, so good. JHe was an F-4 fighter pilot. Never

Ah, another great idea

Thanks Jerry, I thought it was just me! Push up the power and manipulate the stick as necessary! Paul

Hadn't thought of that last statement.

Your ability to boil things down to their essence is a asset, Jerry. Keep ‘er pointed forward. Cheers, Jay

Thanks for your perspective, Gary. My discussion was mostly focused on takeoff, but your caution on landing is a good one. Bouncing the nose gear punches the aircraft to higher AOA increasing the

Thanks Gary, Your experience and willingness to share it is appreciated. I anticipate the situation you describe (arresting pitch increase as soon as gear leaves the ground), so I have been

Hold my beer...

Hi David, Your comments are always appreciated. The moments are incorporated in the modeling, so yes they do contribute, however all other things being equal, I can understand why you see the

???? Looks like a homebuilt akranoplane

As for landing. Dont try to 3 point it. Fully held off maingear first or risk breaking nose leg as each porpoise will get bigger applying heavier loads to nose leg until it breaks probably on number

Hi Jay, You will probably find in practice that you use full down elevator briefly to rotate before checking forward as soon as the nose starts to rise. Aft C of G or reflexor causing ailerons

Jay, something doesn’t add up. At constant gross weight and CG location, you cite liftoff at two different combinations of elevator and reflexor deflection that seem incompatible to me. In one, your

I thought that Phil had a more recent replacement for the no longer existent Malecek ship, and that version was a tri-gear, but I guess I am mistaken. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE

Phil’s airplane was built by Bob Malacek. It was a taildragger, not a Tri-Q👌 but you knew that. Jim N46JP-Q200
