Snap G's

[Earl Haury]

I don't have the YAK set-up for 3D at the moment (linkage / control travels / prop). I agree, it would be interesting data. I did a little 3D with it and suspect it's quite a bit slower with a 3D prop, which will mitigate loads. I do remember doing a wall a couple of years ago with a 120 powered profile 3D and one wing broke off. While still trying to fly the biggest piece, a friend pointed out that the receiver was in the missing wing. Would love to have measure G's on that wall.

If this accelerometer is finding 13 G loads generated by a Pattern model snap, a relatively low amount really, I imagine that a 3D model set up for a full array of stunts has to be experiencing double that at least.

Earl could you do any 3D type maneuvers and measurements with the Yak?

Very informative discussion BTW, and may result in improved more efficient building technique, read-- lightest for the desired strength.

thanks

That's proof of stall!
If the G loading rises suddenly, and then holds or droops continuously during the roll, then it's probably an accelerated barrel.
If the profile is sudden rise, sudden drop to maybe 1/2, then onload, you have a real snap.

Good point. Once in the stall, the model should not see the same continued G load. Should drop dramatically. If the plane doesn't stall to begin with, different story.

Let me add another two cents worth ...
Earl,
What is the sampling rate on your data logger?
Can you see if the maximum 13-Gs at 100 MPH was sustained for the entire half second or so that it took to complete the snap,
or was it a short spike (like 0.1 second)  and then sustained at say half of that value, for the rest of the snap.
Of course, if the data logger samples once a second, we have almost no way of knowing.

Later,
        Dean
