Re: [RCSE] RE: Forward sweep
I was always told that the swept forward wings on two place full-size sailplanes was so that the trim would remain the same if flown by a single pilot in the forward seat. The rear seat is on, or almost on, the CG. Dave Darling RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [RCSE] new member RE: vision problem
Mario, Really nice web site and the slope site (DOLOMITI MOUNTAINS - ITALY) is no small deal either. Sure beats the central Texas hill country. I can't believe that a cell phone would have an effect on a decent RC receiver. The frequency (both analog and digital) is Very far removed from the RC band and the output power is not so much as to swamp anything that is more than a few inches away.

That's right, but the reason for the sweep is to get the wing spar, or carry through structure from going through the rear seat pilot. A J-3 Cub is flown solo from the back seat the front seat is on the CG also, but the spar is over the front pilot's head. -- Rich Border Marguerite Prunyi http://www.netlabs.net/hp/soarrich Those who pound their swords into plows will plow for those who did not.

Re: [RCSE] RE: Forward sweep
in some cases the aerodynamic reasons for forward sweep are to simultaneously reduce tip stall and achieve a lift distribution closer to elliptical. Try it on Liftroll.xls. The practical problem with forward sweep is that, under load, wing bending makes the tip's angle of attack increase so this reduces the advantage in tip stall and elliptical lift distribution gained by the forward sweep. Special tailoring of wing stiffness has been used to reduce this problem in some aircraft such as the x-29. For the small sweep seen in gliders there is some potential in tailoring the pitching moment behavior near stall. However slightly rearward sweep is what is needed to maintain steady pitching moment during near-stall flight. Take note of the comments about "schuman" planform compared to unswept ships' handling and also NACA report 1339. So for the small forward sweep seen on gliders you are probaly left with rear seat visibility as mentioned. "Ciurpita, Greg" wrote: I had read that some two seater full-size gliders have slighty forward forward swept wings so that the wings are mounted further back onthe fuselage to improve the visibility in the back seat.

[RCSE] F3j/F3b Question....
Hey all, What's the 'standard' line size used for launching F3j and F3b? I'm pretty sure F3b is 150 or 200lb mono. But what about F3j? I seem to recall an FAI limit on line diameter/size, and for some reason 70# mono sticks in my head. This question came up this eve. when talking about line size for a zoom start for 3m sized gliders. I'm using 50feet of the 5/8"od bungee and then ~200' of mono for the zoomer thing, but not sure about line size/rating, (Is 40# too light?). Any help would be appreciated.
