I need to do some filling of an edge which is rough (nomex honeycomb).
Outer surfaces are CF. Structure is an annulus.
I need it to be lightweight. I was thinking of Red Devil lightweight
spackling to fill the voids then covering it with 1oz glass with epoxy. Any
thoughts on this combo?
tnx

What I do is to first (if I'm building) try to get the incidence and cg
to what the plan says. Then I toss it to make sure it's controllable. If
so, I launch, and trim for cruising speed (i.e. a little faster than
minimum). Then I dive test, and adjust so it pulls out slowly. The dive
test is also

It was boiling in the notch at the dam today. Massive lift. It had to be

But glad you had some good stuff in H'ville anyway...
you gonna be at the Lexington contest next weekend??

One thing I'm curious about...we hear about how these tests are done at
high alt. to simulate the thin Martian atmosphere, but I was wondering how,
if it all, they simulate the lower Martian gravity. I think the gravity on
Mars is 1/2 or 1/3 Earths, so presumably, if the test plane were flying

I believe in an iterative process.
I use CG position to manage the stability of the plane. The further back the
less stable the plane will be. With a new plane I start with a fairly stable
CG and then start moving it back as become more comfortable with the plane.
An important decision is what
I sold mine because I didn't like it. For the large receiver packs that we use, being
limited to 1A across the four "chargers" was unacceptable.

So what comes first the chicken or the egg, or in this
case C/G of incidence?
Do you pick a spot for the C/G and shim the wing to
fly at neutral elevators (V-Tail) to get a nice cruse
speed, or set an incidence and move the C/G to get a
hands off neutral elevator?
How do you determine where the
Boy, did I see a dive test today, where it just continued to dive, as the
pilot was screaming, "where's my plane", at the same instant I heard this
high pitched flutter/scream behind me, and turned to see what it was, THUD at
terminal velocity.
