[NSRCA-discussion] Strange looking plane from Patrick Lemonnier

[Gray E Fowler]

Dean

I have only heard rumor of such anhedral design and seen pictures...I am 
much too young to have experienced those planes. But the answer is yes! 
It not that the canard type thingy exists, but what I want to know is why 
anyone would want to carry two more servos, and how those thingys , at the 
position they are at would be programmed...into what function? two servos 
means opposite twists...WTF is that for? If its a mix looks like a pain to 
me, especially since it would seem that the ailerons would do the same 
thing but more efficiently. They are not canards. By the way.....everyone 
needs to look up the definition of canard.  Most dictionaries do not list 
it as an aerodynamic control device....(to half sell a duck-which is more 
confusing to me).

Someone please explain to me the purpose of the rear canopy "half sold 
ducks"....wait a minute...I know the purpose! It is to get schmoes like us 
talking about it! Darn, fell for that French trick again!

Gray ... You mean like the anhedralled stab back in the seventies! Right?

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.
