 |
|
I changed the subject line to reflect the proper subject matter. Mike W
Mike B.
A few weeks back I requested information regarding wing incidences and horizontal
stabilizer incidences on MkIII Xtras. A good chap in England (John Codd) was kind enough to
furnish the readings on 2 of the local Xtras. I also talked to Brian, at TNK Tech Support, and
received the reading for the new Xtra (likely the one John H. is flying between rain drops), plus
yours.
If I recall correctly, your readings were "off the most" from the averages. I absolutely concur
with Mike & "Jaz", and Steve B., I think your incidences are possibly off a little, which MAY be
fighting each other.
I have all the results of the readings of John Codd and Brian if you want them. Just let me know.
If I were you, I would investigate this situation with a vengeance, and thoroughly establish that
your wings are rigged 100% properly.
My impression is a MkIII Xtra with a 100 hp motor should be able to fly faster than just 85 mph.
Just my opinion, but "sumptin's up!!". Oh, and change that h.s. fitting!! Like Steve said, if that failed,
you're toast!!

Looking at the bracket picture....
You've got Steel brackets....Stainless Steel angle brackets...
Then you make an aluminum connection ??
You've even got the aluminum "Scored" in it's weakest point....?

Mike, I have to agree with M&J here. Your modified Hor Stab bracket is of concern. You also appear to be using extensive trim tabs to offset the very low setting. You seem to have made two changes that are fighting each other. |
