Nice work Jay. Wouldn't moved down produce better results than moved back? Moved down, less angle of attack, and likely smaller area because now the sparrow strainer will not be stalled. I wonder

I’m on pins and needles for the magic solution. Question would a longer arm with a better angle of attack have the same negative aerodynamics or would they improve on the negative airflow due to

Here is the basic problem and I am not sure if vg’s on the sparrow strainer can fully solve it: The first picture below is the streamline flow-field around the LS1 airfoil, with the standard

And then I believe Bob Malecek had his aluminum strainers movable I believe. His were just a thicker flat aluminum piece that he could adjust so it wasn’t an upside down airfoil. I could have just

This is a very interesting view, Jay. Bruce do you have your Strainers near to the C/L of the center hinge pivot? If so then at or near where Peter installed his also. So what is crossing my mind

Hi Robert, It looks like your suggestion will work out. Can we chat offline? ianhashdown@... or 949-291-xxxx Thanks Ian

I'm still under construction, probably 65-70%. (been on this for many years, I'm finally approaching the 'home stretch'...). 1 to 6 were built into my airframe a long time ago (and I did the Gall

Prior builder (Jim Porter) installed all 7 plus the Gall Wheel Alignment on my project before I purchased it. Sam's blog convinced me to upgrade from LaRue/TenHave to Coughlin/Hoskins style and I

Ian, Yes the tail wheel is steerable via the bell crank. Jim

Tail wheel is locked but breaks loose at 28 degrees either direction and can swivel 360 degrees. Jim

4. We came up with the bell crank set up to split the cables to the rear from a hard mount because tail springs were breaking andTHAT rendered the rudder inoperable. We also liked the fact that the

Do I understand correctly that your tail wheel is not steerable at all? So all on ground steering is by the brakes. ian

Hi Troy, I have a little knowledge regarding the JB/6pk. Originally the brakes (or lack there of) were more dangerous than they should have been, so La Rue and Coughlin/Hoskins came up with a

Have 1,6, and 7. Working on 2 and planning on Hoskins 4. -- Q2 N86KL

I wonder if that was the one with the bag of grapefruits that leapt from a bag behind the seat and rolled into the tail cone? I have sturdy straps with adjustable buckles mounted to the floor.

See to it that your cargo behind the seat is well secured. Thinking back to the early days of Light Sport Expo there was a plane on display touting the behind seat area extending well into the tail

Troy, you raise a good topic for discussion. You will get about 40 different opinions. Here's my set-up: 1. Brake mounts. Coughlin/Hoskins brake mount. A step-up from the Larue, which was a step-up

I think you left out the Gall wheel alignment. I understand by listening through the grapevine, that this is very important. I obviated the six pack by putting my tailwheel on the nose and taking my

1, 2, and 6. I consider these essential (obviously, since I did them!). Paul Q-200 N17PF
