ben87r Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Dont think the forward vis would be much and the Gyro effect would be rather large i would think. Apart from that i like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Composite prop won't give a lot of gyro. Weight, diameter of the heavy parts and RPM are what counts. Plenty of T/Ds have not a lot of Vis forward till the tail is up. Tailwheel suits the concept of the plane. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I agree about the concept and was more talking about the rather longish nose and quite a low tail. As for the prop, i had never given a thought as to the weight! Cheers Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It IS a longish nose and that is not a particular advantage as far as I can see. Obviously it would be tail heavy with the rotax UNLESS it was that long. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
