50g2000hsm.googlegroups.com: This is from "Cessna Wings for the World", by William D. Thompson, regarding the C-177: ==================================snip========== ============= The pitch-down motion in flaps-down sideslips was a more serious problem, however. Production test pilots became aware of a more noticeable waviness in some of the leading-edges of the wing, and occasionally, a 2-foot length of paint overspray that caused wing- dropping tendencies at the stall. This had to be corrected by applying body filler material on the leading-edge or rubbing compound to remove the almost invisible overspray. I~mpossible. how could a bit of paint cause a los of lift when th ewing shape is only htere for streamlining? Bertie |
