After speaking with an instructor about my Pilatus B4 landings, he argued that
the angle of incidence on this glider has a great influence on the landing characteristics. I looked it up, and it was only 1.5 degrees. With the tailplane oriented at -3 degrees. However, I cannot figure out what other gliders have as the angle of incidence. I have 6 degrees in my head somehow, but I'm not sure where I get this from. Searching on Google does not give me figures, only stories about changing it (from Ls6 to Ls8 for example). I'm therefor wondering: can you tell me the angle of incidence on your glider if you know it? And how does it effect take-off and landing characteristics? For example: some people in my club argue that the Discus2 take-off characteristics are also to be blamed on its angle of incidence. regards, Roel |
