Re: [RCSE] Im looking to buy an Airfoil Program?!?!?!?
I've used compufoil for years. I've done the incremental upgrades too to keep up with Eric's additions. It's done everything I need and will do more. Get it, use it, fly on! gv tony estep wrote: > for airfoil plotting and rib or core templates, nothing beats compufoil > (http://www.compufoil.com/).

Did you get the link I sent you? While it doesn't address RDS specifically, it should give you the information you're looking for.

Re: [RCSE] Harley's comment on RDS
OK... moldies are noisier than composite planes, and an RES plane can be quieter than a full-house plane since it does not have linkage, gaps and ailerons to flutter. Ergo, an RES "should stay up longer, cover more ground from whatever height, launch higher, go faster, etc"? Numbers, not dogma... :) --Bill >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [RCSE] Harley's comment on RDS >Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2001 00:03:30 EST > > > I have no idea if that is a significant value, but it seems minor > > > compared to the other sources of drag.

Re: [RCSE] RDS drag reduction, speed increase.
Give us empirical data to show that RDS gives % reduction in drag, and this x-% reduction in drag correlates to a y-% increase in "performance"-- speed, sink rate, whatever.

[RCSE] Flapperon Stiffening.
Hi Joe How did you stiffen up the flapperons??? Did I miss an earlier post?? I went back through the digests and am curious. I have flutter problems also. Best Regards Peter Williams New Zealand Joe wrote... Decided to provide a quick report on flight testing of my ex flutter-bird. The 4 or so grams of weight added was definitely worth it! The plane launches so much better, and even gained some handling at speed due to a reduction in aeroelastics on the flaperon. I'll have to do some dead air times with it now that I can throw it full power without a hint of flutter. I'll do the same routine on a couple of other wings shortly and collect some data. I'm curious about before/after weight, and more importantly, torsional stiffness of the flaperons before and after the sock is installed. Joe RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
