Accession Number : ADA213513 - a spin test report carried out by the guys
at Edwards.

Can any of you guys Stateside point me in the direction of this report?
Says it's Approved for Public Release but I can't find a link that
works.

Cheers in advance.

I just sent a note off to some TPS Grads.. we'll see what they come up
with.
The report was most likely completed by the Test Pilot School.

I have a copy of the report and forwarded to the OP. Is there a
public place to post it?
I'll try to get it up on our clubs web page soon.

Hi T,

I'd be very glad if you could forward this report to me, too.

Best wishes

A couple of years ago, I asked the Schleicher factory whether they had a
copy. They were happy to send me one for a few euros.

Ah... I have to admit that I haven't even thought of asking them!

Since I'll be talking to Schleicher's Gregor Heller soon (in order to
renew the yearly permit to fly of the AS 22-2 - what a pain in the ***
if your glider doesn't have a type certificate in Germany!) I'll ask
him about the report - thx for the hint!


Regards
Andreas

If nothing else, you can load it to a free archive site like
http://www.mediafire.com/ and then post a link to it.

I saw a video of this testing at a presentation done by Jim Payne back
in the 80's. Supposedly you could get one from the Air Force but I
was never successful.

I too have seen the video - it was interesting in that it shows both
the pitching moment as well as the change in rotation rate associated
with the pitch oscillation. Way nose down and she really spun up -
nose high and the rate decreased. All of this was due to the accident
at USAFA with a civil passenger (family member of academy staff if I
remember correctly) on board. Some thought the CG was aft of spec,
although the numbers didn't really prove that. Enough of old and
faded memories.
