Another Temple Plane

[Ed Alt]

That screech on the Composite ARF models is their signature sound.  Since the aileron hinge line is on the top of the wing, a large opens up on the bottom of the wing when an aileron is raised a bunch, hence the screech.  Usually when the planes are assembled, guys trim back the plastic covers that are designed to seal that gap, because they add a fairly stuff resistance to movement as proved by the factory.

  Seeing Todd fly both the Panacea and his new 35% Composite ARF was awe inspiring to say the very least. I still would like to know what that screech was that his plane made when he performed that last snap roll. He is the best pilot I have ever seen in person. Single roll rolling circle with a snap between each quarter,, sheesh!!! :)

    Thanks for the post about my design.  You think some of the great flying quality MIGHT have something to do with the pilot??   <VBG>

      I had an opportunity to observe (and judge) Todd Blose's PAC "Panacea", designed by Tony Stillman.

      Even with so few flights on it, he looked very solid, and the plane presented very well. I was amazed at it's ability to stay put, and still have good penetration.  Looked great!

      It handled the P-05 Snaps, and all those Reversing Rolls with ease.  First one of these I've seen, and sure looks like it could be a real winner.

      BTW - the front end is so big, that if a person ran the OS 1.60 with wrap-around header, there would STILL not be any cutting required.  The fuse opening is large enough to put most other airplanes' canopies inside!!
          It was a surprise to see something this large and easy to see...yet fly so well in those conditions!
