Roger, I tried my best even using an example to illustrate the point. Your logic is flawed with many falacious premises. In order to avert the complexity of...
Roger, I dont harbor any ill will as I see you are sincere in your beliefs. We may have a situtation where I have heard a phrase that goes like this " A man...
Hello everybody! Because I will have to restore an old IcarusII,I need a copy of the assembly plans of the Easy Riser. Some missing parts needs to be rebuilt. ...
Hi MBAero ... Never said he wasn't and I went out of my way to express exactly the same kind of respect, out of an equally deep-felt personal respect for his ...
Hi Denny IMHO... forget the exotic equations unless you fully understand each individual element first. Just get back to basic theory and all will be clear....
Roger- There is nothing left to debate, I said gust susceptability was directly proportional to the wing loading which you said was hogwash and that the total...
Scott - I just set back and watch and lear most of the time. The last few post has been very interesting at least. First off ANYONE with any brains on here...
Daniel, The Easy Riser looks similar, but it is (structurally) very different from the Icarus II (1971?). Restoration for a museum is certainly a reasonable...
Well, as I stated repeatedly I have no expertise in the matter; it's just that some of the statements appeared counterintuitive. Look, for example, at this...
Hello,if someone is trying to contact me,then sent it direct to my e-mail.I can't find the private messages on this site.Sorry,too busy flyin namdraob@......
James You are correct and I was not clear. I simply wanted to introduce the idea of a comparison where weights, and speeds were the same with the larger ...
There are many diverse personalities reading and posting to this list. Most dream of someday building and flying a glider, some actually will,others simply...
... Hi Steve Don't know if my posts will get through - Scotts presently blocking them - but be careful not to build in too much give. Rigidity is a good thing...
It turns out that someone else recognized the German Grille as either mislabled or a copy of a Hungarian Glider by Rubik. see attached photos: I'd love to see...
Daniel, Please consult with the designer, before you begin this project. Icarus II and the Easy Riser do not use the same airfoils. The Easy Riser itself uses...
Red,thank you for all this informations. You wrote many interesting things. I tried to contact Mr. Kiceniuk last year,received no reply. Don't worry,I have no...
Scott, I am truly trying to understand this; and to conform my intuitive understanding of physics to the statements that you and others are making. So far...
I'm reading this thread with great interest and appreciation for the discussion. James, I'm right there with you. And I hope it's not true that Scott is...
you are correct about the G rating having nothing to do with it and the only reason I mentioned it was that the lightly loaded craft might more easily exceed...
Hello Doug Yes, I have been banned but I'll try a post anyway since I've written to Scott off-line to complain and maybe infact he will allow the discussion. ...
Hi Scott ... I think your concept of wing loading is correct but your application to this present problem of gusts is incorrect. ... No. Sorry, but no. The...
I have been following the discussion on gust loads WRT the Wanderer design. Until now haven't had the time to put in my two cents worth as it is a complex...
Doug PS: there's an excellent page here that you might like to look at: http://selair.selkirk.bc.ca/aerodynamics1/Stability/Page6.html Click the "show...
Not to change the subject, but a Palm tree is designed to handle strong winds, from its root ball to its leaf structure, an Oak Tree is not. Look at the shape...
