[NSRCA-discussion] Strange looking plane from Patrick Lemonnier

[Gray E Fowler]

To me it is all shock value. Once it hits the streets everyone will know 
that you cannot win without it...as long as you are e-powered.

Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Strange looking plane from Patrick Lemonnier






Now that is funny!
Why, you ask? Because just yesterday I was on the phone with Matt K. and 
said to him that the vertical part of the flow straightener (translation 
for canaliser) was not really necessary. I said that the basic purpose is 
to make the airflow track down the length of the tailcone, rather than 
spilling around the top, as the plane is yawed. That improves both 
pitching behavior and knife edge power. When I get the needed weather, I 
will hang a little straightener on the Funtana to see what happens to its 
strong push to the belly in K.E. What about chine strips? I'll have to try 
that, as they could be less ugly, and even add structural stiffness.
later,
Dean

The lastest incarnation of PL Products has a very strange plane called the 
Axial.  Take a look.  This makes the t-canalizer look good by comparison.
