Some great comments on stall/ spin recovery. Yes ...I did mean wings level with rudder. OOPS! As far as altitudes go I just meant I felt awfully small with an 18 ft span at that height. You know us "flat landers'! 20 ' and inches ain' much different though I do agree in MOST cases alt

Hello All, Just a quick twi cents worth. My cowl installation (picked up from Sid) is coming along slow but sure. Modifying one to fit is probably almost as much work as making a new one but still very satisfying and much better looking than my original Cowl. Thanks Sid! N186 RC was fi

Alot of passionate responses here. I did the same thing Tony did. Both on my Sonerai II and my KR 2. In both cases I felt the same as he did. There is alot of techno talk out there and some for good reason but I urge you to be careful. Some of that and how it is presented can have t

Folks With all due respect anyone that has built , sold or purchased a project or completed aircraft knows that labor on a dollar per hour basis is never recovered in a sale. Usually 50 to 70 cents on the dollar for materials is about all one expect. Sometimes less. We build for a variety if re

I mis spoke regarding stall speeds . Of course the belly flap does not reduce the stall speed. It assists in slowing the aircraft ONLY. The dims. will determine the drag and ability to slow down. When adding this to any clean aircraft PLEASE USE CAUTION . N186RC
