Paysant-Le Roux's Oxalyis using a wingletaft of canop...<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Don Lowe discusses a little bit about such devices in the latest MA. One
of the photos also shows one of his pattern models retrofitted with the device
and I think he stated that in his set-up it wasn't terribly effective. The
amount of vertical and horizontal area the little "T tail" adds may be too
small for a 2 m pattern model, CPLR notwithstanding. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The concept is a good one tho, and the idea has been around since at
least the Wright Bros, although they may not have used the wing intreplanes
with that specific purpose in mind. To my knowledge, Nat Penton originally
applied the idea on a model more than 20 years ago. I wrote about that and
even played with it in my own models a bit. Back then, the schedules we flew
were not that demanding and couldn't really take advantage of the concept, but
the schedules we fly now certainly will be easier to fly with such appendages
on the models.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Now the horizontal surface angled at the correct incidence could
possibly be enough to counteract the notorious pitch to landing gear that CPLR
designs are infamous for with top rudder application. On the other hand, CPLR
is gifted enough pilot to overcome the model deficiency on his own, but hey,
if he believes it helps, then it does help him and hurts everyone else flying
against him.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was reading the latest issue of Model Aviation
this evening and saw a picture of Christophe PAysant-LeRoux's Oxyalis with a
"winglet" mounted aft of of the canopy. What is the function of this
winglet? Has anyone on this list used this?
Thanks..........</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
