Hi all
I have ,for sometime been concerned about the mass balancing of my elevator.
This has been a hot subject lately, and many have talked about elevator tip
weights. I would like to hand on some points I found out when I visited an
aircraft structural engineer on the weekend.
I took my tail plan
15 Gs - hahhah - hehheh - in a tail, thats a good one.

Reasons
1. twisting of the elevator tips
2. the mass balance arm and mountings must be able to carry 15
times the weight of the mass balance
Thank you for the head-up on that - never really stopped to think about
the G forces also acti
RE: He could not believe the plans do not insist on a gusset welded to the
mass balance arm to stop cracking failure.
He is most likely correct. Or you could use steel. For those of you who were
not at the gathering last year, Jim Faughn had exactly this failure. He had
it repaired while at the

Dana,
I flew the T-34 through departure stalls, which when held were violent. I
found it difficult to fly through 60
degrees at 150. Anyone else familiar care to comment?

I may have made a mistake, with the 15 times factor, he may have said 13.
But it was quite considerable, I'm not qualified to give this information, I
can only pass it on.
So please do not

60 degree level turn requires 2G input. Anything greater will cause a
climb. As the G load goes up, the stall speed increases.
The 2 G loading is not automatic with 60 degree bank. It requires
increased backpressure.

OK, geez Larry let's split hairs.a "level" 60 degree
bank places 2Gs of wing loading which increases stall speed. Does that
satisfy you? What the heck did this have with the discussion.
GEEZand that's being nice!!

Steve,
I can not answer all your questions in your origina
landing? 1.5 Gs? 3? That is for plane weight - what is the folcrum result
on the WAFs?
