Marske Flying Wings do not stall
I did a modest cross country in the Pioneer IId yesterday but what is most
interesting was that I am exploring all of the flight envelope and yesterday was stalls. When I pulled the stick all the way back slowly I suddenly found that my airspeed had fallen to zero where I held it for quite some time and my sink rate was 100 down. And I have it on video! I did this many times although there was tendency to turn to the left since we have a left turn in the glider. The airspeed system was calibrated recently, both the airspeed instrument and the installation, however I did not do the calibration for zero airspeed... so it could be off slightly. I have posted a picture on the web site showing the airspeed near zero and will post a video shortly. http://www.continuo.com/marske/pione...%20pioneer.htm This is rather a long address so if this does not work go to our web site and find "Marske Pioneer IId" -mat I have been recording all of this on video to give some credibillity to my claims. -- Marske Flying Wings http://www.continuo.com/marske |
