I wonder what the L/D and penetration would be like
if the PW-5 AND the L-33 had retractable gear? Would the polar look more like the Pegasus 101? Anyone have a Pegasus 101 club (fixed gear) polar we can look at? Mark P.S. In a previous post I'd mentioned vibration on tow at about 80 knots in the PW-5. After reading www.ssa.org/Johnson/85-1997-04.pdf it seems this is from the elevator, and "taping up the relatively large openings on both the top and bottom surface of the elevator control attach location, and at the base of the rudder" makes the elevator vibration problem go away. Also in the article take a look at the "wing root air seals," very interesting... I wonder how many other gliders have these similar big air holes in the fuse-to-wing. |
