RE: KAOS 60 Elevator Question
[quote]Odd thing about the Kaos is the forward slanted horn on the bottom side of the elevator gives more up than down[/quote] Mike, I hesitate to disagree but I think the swept forward horn on the bottom will give, as it should, more down than up. Ray

RE: KAOS 60 Elevator Question
As Joe puts it in the UFO article - "to equalise the response of the aircraft to elevator inputs". This type of mechanical differential set up was quite common in reed days to equalise the diameter of inside and outside loops and as shown will give more down than up. A bit redundant now with proportional control and the ability to adjust everything using transmitter software. Ray

RE: Just ain't my day!!!
Billmod12 - that's a real mess and you have my sympathy. Aviation ( models and fullsize) has a nasty habit of biting you in the bum if you get a bit casual and drop your guard. Similar thing happened to a friend of mine when charging an unattended battery. His garage burnt down and he was very lucky to save his house. Anyway..... keep smiling. Onwards and upwards. Ray

RE: NEED DB's SOUTHERN SORGHUM
This stuff is good and seems similar to what Vic described. Can also be used for fuselage doublers. The 12" wide sheet is probably best for our applications. [link]http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catalog/product_specific.cfm?ClientID=15&ProductID=20661[/link] Ray
