Response to Colin Rainey's comments; I intend to provide the aileron effectiveness using slotted airfoils in the outer half of the panel, to accomplish the same result without a loss of lift. Rather, there will be an increase in lift with a corresponding increase in drag. This will be commensurate with the speed limitations of the Sport Pilot category.
I had already built the elevator with provisions for anti-servo tabs to reduce pitch sensitivity. Part of the reason for this approach is that I have all the parts to do the job, rather than starting over. The KR platform is not perhaps a good choice, but it'll work for me, 'cause I have the hard part finished. Suggestions for any other ways to accomplish the task will be appreciated. Ron Freiberger mailto: rfreiber...@swfla.rr.com Colin said; Ron, I am concerned about no wing washout at all. The whole purpose of wing washout is to preserve aileron authority/effectiveness at high angles of attack, and near the beginning of a stall. While the stub portion of the wing is stalling, the tips are not, and ailerons can still be used to control attitude.
