Re: [RCSE] Next project...
That is absolutely correct, Dave. The wings on my refurbished '72 Windfree flex a lot-- the wingrods and wing spars are matched in strength. The problem is that I have to carefully modulate the winch pedal else the wings will fold, and this limits my launch height. If I just used stiffer wingrods, the wing panels would indeed fail. If I just used stronger wing spars, the wingrods would fail (5/32 is pretty marginal!) Everything has to be considered as a functional unit: if I strengthen A, then B must also be beefed up. I believe that if I increase the spar stiffness by using a CF/composite spar coupled with a larger wingrod that the strength of the entire wing assembly will be usefully increased. I can do reasonable winch launches, although I do not see doing the zippy-da-do-da zooms that you get with a polycarbonate technowonder... Intuitively, off the top of my head, I'm thinking that a 5/16 steel or 3/8 aluminum wingrod will be a good match to a wing of 99 wingspan and 555 in^2 area. It might well be that a 1/4 steel rod would be appropriate. And then again, in the Ray Hayes incarnation of the Windfree, he may already use larger wingrods and stiffer spars than the original '72 kit, so I may end up going with his recommendation. But good comments... --Bill From: Dxxx xxx.net To: Bill Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Next project... Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 14:38:56 -0700 Bill, I recommend that you don't use larger rods in the Windfree. I saw a 30 year old one fly last weekend, and it does develop MUCHO dihedral on launch, but the wings never broke. I suspect that Mark and Rod Smith designed it using the stock rods, to keep the wings intact. If you use larger (read stiffer) wing rods, you will move the stress to the end of the rod, and it will fail there. IMHO, the wing needs to flex to survive.

[RCSE] Gentle Lady on slope
Hi! What kind of slope (how big and steep) is required for Gentle Lady? Or is it impossible or pointless at all? I just attempted to fly mine on the biggest local slope and was lucky enough to get it back undestroyed. The slope is steep and quite low (about 15 meter high), the wind was strong (the plane was moving very slowly). There was some lift near the edge (plane raised sharply couple of meters), but it was impossible to turn back (plane was drifting very quickly downwind when I changed the cource). Was the slope too small? Wind too strong? Or do I just need the aileron ship? Arne RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [RCSE] Next project...
Good point, Andy. I'm inclined to keep the Windfree simple, and not add spoilers. I've noticed that I raise the nose and mush it in for a spot landing pretty well. --Bill From: Andy Page [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Next project... Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 16:23:49 -0700 I'm thinking my Windfree will be 2 channel - like the original. I flew my stretched Questor and an original standard class fairly competitively, neither one had spoilers. Even if you don't win, its great fun to do well with a less than state of the art design. That way, you know it was your flying skill that made the difference. I always found that light, responsive models can be brought down without spoilers by wagging the rudder at high angle of attack - kinda like an alternating side slip. Not as effective as spoilers, but it's something. Something large is another story... I think my Bird of Time will have spoilers.

Mark Smith did a lot of legendary flying in the mid-70's with that plane. Those long skinny wings and light weight seem to make it a bit squirrelly on launch. With 500 in^2 area and 26 oz weight it seems to be a marginal open class ship and probably will be out-competed by Unlimited RES ships. But I'll have fun, I already know humility... Ray Hayes does have a Nostalgia Page at http://www.skybench.com/nostalgia/nindex.html . Y'all, forgot to ask: spoilers on the Windfree, yea/nay?

Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 12:27:17 -0700 I also just finished a nostalgia model - an Airtronics Questor, with the same mod I put on the first one 20 years ago, polyhedral tip panels. Pretty much makes it a Super Questor, with a slightly different planform. So, I guess its not legal for nostalgia. I have a Windfree on the board now, from the new kit. This one always fascinated me back then, but I never had one. I can't wait to fly it. Next project will be a Bird of Time. Andy The BoT is on final to completion and it's time to start planning my next project... I'd just finished my two Nostalgia planes, refurbished 1972 Oly 99 and Windfree. I like the way the Windfree flies and looks in the air. But a 30-year old classic like that is fragile and has too much sentimental value to be thrashed in contests and day-to-day flying. I've ordered a current Windfree kit from Ray Hayes at Skybench. I plan to add stronger wingrod and wing spars to withstand modern winches, and strengthen the fuse to survive the inevitable dorked landing. As you recall, the wings on the Windfree are long and skinny and plug into the fuse on 5/32 joiner wires. Each wing panel length is 48, the root chord is 7 and the tip chord is 4. D-tube construction, 555 in^2 area. Dihedral is 8*, with no poly. I propose to make the stronger spars using the pre-preg CF strip/endgrain-balsa and Kevlar-tow wrap composites, per Tony Estep's DarkStar ( http://www.mvsaclub.com/articles/dark_star.htm ) or Mark Drela's Allegro-Lite (http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articles/allegrolite2m/markdrela_allegrolite2m.htm ). The wingrod will be 5/16 or 3/8 aluminum or steel, with the 8* dihedral bent into it, and will extend 6 into the wing root (as far as the center sheeting). There are other spar construction methods, but this is the one I am currently playing with and I'm inclined to continue along this line. Of course, the bent wingrod will pass through the fuse. There will be a sub-frame to transfer the launch loads from the wings to the towhook (or is it vise_versa?) Towhook plate will be slotted to give an adjustable towhook. Pushrods will be .050 CF rod in teflon sheaths. I considered using pull-pull cables on the rudder, but this might be a bit tricky on a small plane like this, so I'll likely use conventional rod-and-clevis. I'll push this to the limit of nostalgia-legal and see where it goes. --Bill _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] info on decalage
Well, I haven't heard that one, but I didn't study many biplane configurations during my aero engineering training... I do know this...Decalage is in fact the correct term, and is the difference between the angle of *incidence* of the wing and the horizontal stabilizer. These angles are of course both measured from a common horizontal reference line. Angle of attack is something entirely different. It is generally defined as the angle between an object's horizontal reference plane and the freestream airflow direction. Somewhere at home I have an old (1979) issue of Model Builder, with an excellent article on the subject of sailplane design. The method uses simple guidelines for establishing reasonable upper and lower bounds for things such as tail areas and moments. I used it to design a standard class model back then when I was 16. It flew great. I might be able to find it... I also have the Martin Simons book, titled something like Model Aircraft Aerodynamics. Good book. I ran across it at Barnes Noble of all places.
