Aeronautical Engineering Help needed

Thanks for the lawyer joke. I'll add it to my repertoire.

What are you building, Packie? Anything other than a record?

found out why it was a bad idea to go rafting in Larry's neck of the
woods!

The rapids of the Chatuge River are in Georgia. Dimwit.

Gee... my globe was misprinted then! It shows a common border between
Georgia and North Carolina. Thanks for pointing out my error. It's
clear now that there's just no way that relatives from one state could
pass into the other. Maybe there's a twenty-foot barrier fence that
seperates Larry's relatives from those homosexual mountain men
depicted in the movie.

Silly Me.

when ya lives up in them there mountains with yer coon dog, who needs
friends?

Ah, but what you failed to mention is that Lake Chatuge IS in North
Carolina. It's not your fault Larry, most lawyers have trouble
telling the truth.

Now back to BYB's assertion of you being a malcontent...

Know what I think it is? The water! You're drinking that same
Coal-mine runoff that the mad-mountain men a few miles downstream are!
Has lots of heavy metal in it. And I bet you've been sucking way too
many Coal dust fumes from shoveling. (to get through law school.)
Sort of a hillbilly-industrial disease. "Sixteen tons and whadda I
get? Another day older and deeper in debt..." You and Tennessee
Ernie Ford!
Ya owes your soul to the company Stoe! I bet that's why you're so
ill-mannered.

Hee-Haw!

As another aeronautical engineer I strongly agree (and second) this opinion.
BTW if you want long range a canard is not for you.

Your assertion rings false in both theory and practice. There is
nothing inherently range-limiting about a canard design. Of the
popular canard homebuilt designs, most rank quite well in cruise
range. A stock Long EZ, for example, will fly 1000 miles full
throttle at altitude (75% power) and land with VFR reserves in the
tanks. The Class C-1a and C-1b world records for range are held by
canard aircraft.

I thought the round the world non-stop Voyager was a canard... Guess I am
wrong! GRIN

So we have to take Voyager out of the Smithsonian?

He takes narcotics. Call them what they are.

nar•cot•ic (när kot‚ik) n.1. any of a class of habituating or
addictive substances that blunt the senses and in increasing doses cause
confusion, stupor, coma, and death: some are used in medicine to relieve
intractable pain or induce anesthesia.

2. anything that exercises a soothing or numbing effect or influence.

That's right Jim, it just doesn't have enough range to be in there.
Dan and the boys are trying to prove that this hero-worship of Rutan
has just got to be stopped.

A canard does some things badly. Like STOL, or loitering in a
thermal.

Range is one of the things it does very well.
