Slingsby Kestrel trim speed C FFKQ ?
The pic gives a good idea of the boom mounted tailplane fixture.
Next winter project for my PIK 20. I note that the elevator shows the BGA required mod., a downward cusp added to the Glasfluegel design. This was supposedly to provide feel at high speeds; found it (1972) to spoil the feedback and worse, to allow trimming only to 80 kts or so. This was quite unacceptable to me in for contest. I removed the cusp and found feel and trim speed now acceptable. John Firth |
