Can someone explain wing loading? by
Frederick Wilson
Thanks Kevin.
Other than the stall info, wing loading is pretty much the same as blade
loading in helicopters. I guess that is why the Blackhawk is so stable in
the rear. The tailrotor produces something like 10% of the total lifting
force for a given gross weight. That is a lot of lift for those...

Larry Smith
A year or so ago there was a thread about shortened aluminum prop blades,
especially on Sensenich props, going into flutter and departing O-320's.

A Brilliant Idea by
nafod40
While sipping my cold suds and laying on the beach, I had opportunity to
watch the banner tows cruise up and down the strip. Looking at my fellow
beach-goers, I noticed they stopped looking up at the tows after the
first few have gone by. It was then, due to a seredipitous mixture of
beer and...

The used ones are $500 - $700 & a new one $1125. I lost my job &
would like to keep the costs as low as possible. If I bought a used

Real airplane, the fan is in the front. The little wheel is in the back. That
is, if it has a little wheel. Started out, we just had a skid. Nowadays,

Odyssey Battery-Jerry Springer by
Badwater Bill
Okay Jerry, I took your advice and spent $135 bucks today for an
Odyssey 16 Amp-hr dry cell that weighs 15 pounds (the 680). I cut the
aluminum for a bracket on the gyroscope to mount it but I gotta get
