KR> Horizontal stabilizer incidence

2015-02-24 Thread Chris Prata
It's the latter, Although it would be nice not to need any trim, what i do not want is to need massive amounts of trim to hold the nose up (or down). My current aircraft had a nose-down tendency and no amount of trim would alleviate the pitch down when pulling off the power. I eventually found

KR> Horizontal stabilizer incidence angle and pitch trim

2015-02-24 Thread Chris Prata
I hope more folks chime in on this. I wills ave this topic aside for when I make my build. So far, it looks like horizaontal stabilizer incidence angle, and size of tail are to be considered. I want neutral trim at all speeds from 60mph to 200 (if my build is non-LSA spec) > Yep. As built, min

If wing spars or whatever are being load tested, rather than make sandbags one could go to the garden centre or agriculture supply and borrow bags of chemical fertilizer. They will already have their weight printed on them and so on. Bill Weir

KR> Spar and WAF stress analysis

2015-02-24 Thread Herbert Fürle
the conclusion of the German Test of the Kr Spar and WAF's calculated by Otto Bartsch is: Any reliable built Kr with a MTOW of 1050 pounds is a 4,2 G's plane with a 1,45 safety factor,or a 3,8 G 's x 1,6 plane! Otto Bartsch assured me,that the calculation was carried out somewhat cons
