Seems I recall something about not increasing the lift on the main wing. Since winglets not only reduce drag, but also increase lift that would probably be why. The suggestion given us at Oshkosh

Hey guys, I need some quick input. I did a lay up last week and the surface feels slightly "tacky" . Today is the first day that we have seen above 65 degree's but I am concerned that I may not have

Pat, I have no idea what the designer used, but using TAS is a good idea. Would that be in knots, or not knots....I think most guys like statue mph, but I don't care. What about everyone else? Al

Anybody use one of those fancy pitot tubes with the static ports built in? Mike Brown

Pat, The V Speed airspeed is IAS, and for most little guys, in MPH. The flight plan airspeed is TAS, and in Knots. I even like to use KIAS for a lot of my performance calculations, as I haven't

Paul, The Abilene show is probably 3/4 the size of Cranfield in airplanes and a lot less vendor booths. This is a best guess as I used to attend when it was in Kerrville, TX and have not been to it

Paul It's This week end. It should be fairly big as they have an approach proceedure to get in. www.swrfi.org is the web site. I have never been before but it is in Texas and I thought a few of the

How come I've never seen winglets on a Q? I've seen them on Varieze . Would they be of any benefit to a Q. Are they strickly for STOL?

Hi Larry What is the date for this Abilene Fly-in, and what sort of a show do you expect it to be ? Paul Buckley, England.

Pat, What airspeed do you think we should agree on? IAS, CAS, TAS? Something else? Al ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE

Larry: How about we add a category; "Speed over the ground in level flight". Why? For fun and Bragging Rights. I love telling the story about the time my normally aspirated, stock, C182 showed a

Larry, Sorry to have set off such a horrible diatribe. I wasn't overstating what I saw. I was simply made the comment, I read 215 mph on my GPS and also stated I'm sure I had a tailwind. That's it!

Any one going to the Big Country Fly In at Abilene Texas? Larry

Very Well said Larry! I try to keep my posts to a minimum to save the bandwidth but felt the need to state my observance of builders (of all kinds). I have noticed over the last 20+ years or so a
