Tom,

If you're designing a new model then take the opportunity to add a
canaliser, a contra-rotating propeller and. get ready for this. an anhedral
stab! You will be about 2 years ahead of everyone! LOL

Hi all,

 

I hope you are all keeping well in pattern world? Yes-I am still around
(lurking) though rarely posting these days.

 

I would appreciate some feedback on the whole topic of all these appendages
that seem to be hanging off the current generation of pattern planes these
days. Quite frankly, the purpose of which has me scratching my head.

I am currently in the midst of designing a new model, with which I wish to
return to flying and competing. One of my parameters is that anyone should
be able to build it from plans, should they chose to do so-and it must
reflect current lines and complex shapes-but must meet aerodynamic
parameters/requirements first. It will be a challenge-but it can be done.

 

So just why do we have all this garbage hanging off planes? Are they fixing
simple design deficiencies or are we purposely re directing airflows to
achieve what?

 

Thanks for any ideas, thoughts-actual knowledge and opinions!

 

Tom
