Just got my copy of the Waddelow info in the mail (Thanks Bruce, and a
deep bow of respect). I will, time permitting, scan it and convert to a MS
Word document and try to clean up some of the charts - maybe even do some of
it in CAD.
I may have a question or 2 after reading the documents. Has the
Waddelow canard been load tested?

1) Don't need a carbon spar
2) Can be built with the 240" span for lighter wing loading/higher gross
weight
3) Should be lighter?

But it CANNOT be used on anything but a Tri-Q

Hey Bruce and Leon,

What are the advantages of the Waddelow canard?
Steve Ham

Will this reduce stall speed?

I would suspect that you could if you wanted to but Mr. Waddelow
apparently chose to keep the same main wing span - with a slightly different
lay-up schedule. I'm sure there are weight/ballance issues either way.
Caveat Emptor.

I have just finished scanning the rest of the Waddelow document and I
have a ZIP file of *.BMP files for anyone that can't wait until I get the
rest of the document cleaned up.

I must redact my statement. Upon further examination it appears that
Mr. Waddelow did indeed intend to use a longer (240") main wing. I supose
you could mix and match??????
Caveat Emptor still applys.

Thanks Leon,
Glad you are doing the documentation on the Waddelow plans. I don't have
the knowledge or skills to do what you are doing.
Feel free to ask questions. If I don't know the answer, Paul Buckley is
excellent for info. He is a busy fellow though so he may need some
"space". I don't know of anyone with the load testing data but that
doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Let me know what you think of the plans.

..BOTH Wing and Canard were intended to be 240". One of each were
built. The main wing failed the load test, possibly due to the test
fixture. the canard passed. I built a 200" canard per his
instructions and load tested at the same time as the others. I
istalled this canard and flew it over 100Hrs before I sold the plane.
I would take a "tested, but broken" canard any day over the
unknown.....my butt is worth a little more than that. This is not
something you should do half-heartedly. (I'm sure some won't like
this.) Mike Conlin
