Some good reading there - thanks guys!

Particularly interested to note that Vne with the stabilator tips is increased by a whole 26 mph, with this reflected by redline on the ASI in the sim by the looks of it... :) Can't find much info on these, but presumably they act to prevent buffeting?

Cheers,

Actually they prevent flutter and vibrations due to changed harmonic frequency. To give more insight into the initial problem of the Comanche's Stabilator you might read AD 72-22-05: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guida ... enDocument

Thank you for the link Oskar. Stabilator tips going on for me by the looks of it, though it'll be interesting to see what happens if we 'approach' :wink: Vne without them fitted! They do complement the appearance of the wing tip tanks rather nicely as well I think. :)

Any chance someone could do a direct link to the pdf. Sadly the IPad won't let me download the zip file. :(

Thanks for posting! Good read. Tomorrow I shall prepare my 'info sheet' , and weather permitting, I already have a very special first flight in my mind whenever the release might be! :)

Not to be nit-picky, but the Mustang in the photo on page 11 of the manual is not civilian paint.... It's U.S. Army, believe it or not.

The last U.S. military use of the F-51 was in 1968, when the U. S. Army employed a vintage F-51D (44-72990) as a chase aircraft for the Lockheed YAH-56 Cheyenne armed helicopter project. This aircraft was so successful that the Army ordered two F-51Ds from Cavalier in 1968 for use at Fort Rucker as chase planes. They were assigned the serials 68-15795 and 68-15796. These F-51s had wingtip fuel tanks and were unarmed.

...but I must say that the RC glider story doesn't really have anything to do with aspect ratio. ;) Angle of attack has nothing to do with the climb angle, and if there was plenty of airspeed for the glider to fly level, it was even more plentiful in a towed steep climb (due to apparent weight reduction from the rope pull's vertical component). It could probably be rooted to the rough handling of the glider - reacting to the tow plane instead of following - which in full scale leads to 'sore necks' among the tow pilots. But if the tow plane was able to climb at whatever angle, the glider was sure able to follow - the transitions, if too sharp, can be difficult to coordinate though.
