At what point do you stop with your "belt and braces approach"?
Aircraft can always be safer if you add one more feature. Problem is pretty soon
you go over the MGW before you have added fuel or yourself to the airplane.
Hello Gig,Very good post, when someone starts adding weight to his homebuilt, because he "wants to believe" that extra material with add safety, he will eventually end up with a heavyer airplane, then the wings will not work as designed.This happen more often with wooden airplanes (make each of the sticks a n/th bigger, for example).If one person is fear about flying his (or any) airplane, nothing will be added enough for his peace of mind. That is why "Chickens were not ment to fly" :-)SaludosGary Gower.Just needed a little smile.Do not archive. |
