I have 3 KR projects for ranging from $500.00 to $2,000.00. One retract gear,
boat with spars and Vertical and Horizontal skins, one is a KR2 plus 12 inches.
On gear, with brakes, rudder pedals mounted and cables run. It also has Diehl
wing skins. I’m cleaning out my hangar and they must go.
that's why the B52 lifts off in level attitude and plows slightly nose
down at lower altitudes, it was designed to all come together at
35,000+ and 500+ mph

That's a good reminder for those of us who have lost that bit
If the sea level rises, wouldnt that push the atmosphere up, and you'd
gain those inches of height AGL? But this is over my head. I still
have no idea how the ocean can rise much more in some places than
others when water is fluid!

If I can get this Taylor-mono in the air we can log all new numbers for the
airfoil RAF-48 and do a comparison with a KR-2 and S.

I used the term "angle of incidence" when what I really meant to reference was
pitch angle, which may or may not be the same as Angle of Attack. AOA is
always in reference to the relative wind, which is not necessarily always a
horizontal line. The Deck angle or Pitch angle is in reference to
I think you reversed the usage of the terms, Jeff. Angle of incidence is
built into the airplane and angle of attack is a variable, as you say,
per airspeed & density, that refers to the wing related to the relative
wind. What you describe happens with gliders at high altitudes as well,
with no

horizontal. I made a fairly careful study and drew up a polar which was
