Darn! If that's true, that is my second mistake! Wayne W. ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry L. Francis To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 6:59 PM Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Dihedrial is 7 degrees on my coupe..s/n 853
I made the trip today ( 78 miles to the airport and back, and measured the dihedriel of my coupe, s/n 853. The dihedriel is 7 degrees. It appears that Mooney not only added stall strips to the M-10 wings, but also must have decreased the dihedriel of the wings to 5 degrees (as listed in the M-10 specs). I understand that Mooney was trying to make the M-10 spin, so it would be a suitable trainer for the more advanced Mooney airplanes. The lower dihedriel would be easier to make the M-10 spin and safely recover. My understanding is they never were able to certify the M-10 as safe for spins. __________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
