Wanted: 2-33 left wing

I'm helping a friend locate a replacement wing for a Schweizer 2-33.
Left with mild hail damage would be perfect but will consider left,
right, varous conditions. Reply to me: wby0nder'at'aol.com

"I busted the left wing and I need to replace it. I'd prefer to replace
it with another left wing, but in a pinch, I'll try to make do with two
right wings."

Let's hope this is just an unfortunate miscommunication rather than a
serious plan. :-)

Perhaps he needs parts that are on either wing?

There you go again, Mr. Greenwell, with your "facts" and your "logic"
and your "reason", perversions I refuse to submit to since to do so
would be to turn this wondrous and magical universe into a drab and
desert realm. Good day to you.

Can I redeem my drab desert by wondering why "mild hail damage" was the
perfect condition? Do you suppose the right wing already has "mild hail
damage", and so a left wing with matching damage is required?

Hmmm golf balls fly futher with dimples, is 2-33 with 50:1 possible?

Shhhhhhhh. Super secret Super-Schweizer project.

With that riveted wing, I suspect you'd have to bolt on a JATO unit to
give a 2-33 50:1 performance.

If you installed two left wings, or two right wings, but installed the
"wrong one" facing backwards, it might be perfect for thermaling in a tight
column of air - as long as you made sure you always went in the correct
direction.

It could also be good for flat spin recovery - if you made sure you spun it
in the correct direction.

Tow rope attachment might be somewhere on the rear facing wing, to help it
launch straight, althugh it might require some experimentation.

That sounds like a long-discarded prototype for the helicopter, before
they discovered you don't want the crew pod to spin with the blades.

Just wind the tow rope around a vertical axis, like winding the string
around a top. Then pull hard, and the device will take off on its own.

Good idea, Colin.

Boy, that is a great idea. Just hang the cockpit below the fuselage, on a
swivel, and the pilot can keep facing one direction during a tight thermal.
My wife will finally get relief from those tight turns she does not like.

And pilots will no longer be uncomfortable in flat spins or graveyard
spirals.
