Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Morning, David, I’m glad you are enjoying your new career. It was my childhood dream as well. I enjoyed and met so many wonderful people during my years at United Airlines. Memories I will never

Re: ADSB

Hi Corbin, I used the Uavonics EXT version with internal electronic plastic dipole antenna purchased from Spruce. This eliminates the need for a ground plane. No antennas outside the airframe. Echo

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Hi Jim, Thanks for the compliment. I retired from that job three years ago. I’ve been chasing my boyhood dream of being an airline pilot by flying for SkyWest Airlines ever since, and I’m

Re: ADSB

Jim, I’m going this route as well but have not installed yet. Did you install the ext version or the “all internal” model with the little metal antenna? I would love to see a pic of your

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Hi David, I do not have springs of any kind attached to my elevator control system. Linkage consists of two pushrods attached to a common bolt on the stick. The other ends are attached to the right or

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Jay, I understand that you “…do not have the elevator trim system installed.” However, please clarify: Do you or do you not have any springs “attached” to your elevator control system?

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Hi Richard, My reflexor has been totally adequate for all loading so far. By adjusing power and reflexor, I can stabilize anywhere from 140 mph IAS level cruise to 85 mph standard final descent (3

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Yay Jay, I think we already discussed, I have been beating my 2 brain cells together over the situation that I only have the elevator helper spring fitted (that was in when I bought FN) and trying to

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

I do not have the elevator trim system installed. I have been using my aileron reflexor for pitch trim since I first flew my plane a year ago. The elevator seems fully stabilized without the trim

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Jay, I think to evaluate this conservatively you’ll have to disconnect the pitch trim springs since those help to stabilize the system in some ways. Matthew Curcio 419-290-3773

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Thanks for the more complete explanation. I have a manual "stick" type of control on my aileron reflexor. It fits into my left hand and feels and manipulates like a second stick (absent roll control

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Yes but a lot more than that. This may be common knowledge for you but I’ll explain in some detail since I think most people aren’t fully aware. Taking a step back, part 23 and part 25 both say

Re: Bruce's tuft study on sparrow strainers

Hi Matthew, When you state the that the elevator control linkage has single points of failure, are you referring to the fact that there are independent (left-right) control arms with separate push
