<div>Bob,</div> <div>No apology necessary. GOOD "3D" flying IS a form of precision aerobatics. The challenge is in convincing the hot dog club pilots that this is true!</div> <div> </div> <div>John Pavlick<BR><BR><B><I>Bob Richards <bob@toprudder.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD vAlign=top> <div>When a wing stalls, it simply means the airflow detaches from the top of the wing. The air is still flowing on the bottom of the wing, the wing is still providing some lift, and the ailerons can still deflect this flow. If this was not the case, a rolling harrier would not be possible. (Shame on me for mentioning 3D flying on a precision aerobatics newslist!! :-) )</div> <div> </div> <div>Deflecting the aileron down will not necessarily cause the wing to stall quicker, in fact as
the wing starts to move up (roll rotation) the angle of attack is actually decreased on the rising wing, and increased on the falling wing. This is how one wing panel can be stalled and not the other.</div> <div> </div> <div>Besides, if deflecting the trailing edge down causes a wing to stall quicker, I don't think flaps would be a good idea on a landing approach. </div> <div><BR><BR>Bob R</div> <div><BR><BR>--- On <B>Mon, 6/30/08, Del <I><drykert2@rochester.rr.com></I></B> wrote:<BR></div> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(16,16,255) 2px solid"> <DIV id=yiv929548203> <DIV>----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">I would like someone to explain how, if the wing, or one panel, is stalled how the ailerons are continuing to control the direction of rotation. If there is a stalled wing, then it will
be the one with the "down" aileron as that wing has the higher incidence angle. This stalled panel would cause a roll contrary to the aileron deflection. This is actually what happens when you get an oeverweight airplane too slow and add some surface deflections. It will snap contrary to the aileron.<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><PRE>_______________________________________________ NSRCA-discussion mailing list NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
