I just had a telephone conversation with Sebastian Heintz regarding
the LAA drawings now circulating on the net. My impression of the
drawings was that they were originally done by Chris Heintz since
they conform to his drawing style, and I wanted to discuss how to
find the specified materials.
Sebastian told me that the drawings were indeed NOT done by
Chris. Chris has apparently seen the drawings but has some issues with them.
He also told me he is in possession of a drawing for the control
change mentioned at Oshkosh. He doesn't want to release this drawing
until it has been flight tested.
The general idea was that Chris intends to write comments on the LAA
drawings. He also has been working with German engineers on a mass
balance change which has not yet been completed.
I also asked about the promised report from the California engineers
mentioned at Sun n Fun. Sebastian said the output from that group
was self-contradictory and generally useless. He is depending on the
work of the German group along with Chris's efforts with that group.
Sebastian agreed with me that we need to be cautious that any changes
we might make to our planes don't introduce new problems. That is
the role the responsible engineers must fill in reviewing any new
changes. This is nothing new - it applies to all changes proposed to
the designs after they hit the world.
We should expect comments from Chris to be published in the next few
weeks. After waiting this long, we just need to exercise a little
more patience.
