I like what you are saying about a "lifting float"!! My pop (lost him a year ago) built just that in a "one piece float" back in the late 60's with Jack Conroy. Mounted the proto to a 182 for pics. It never went anywhere at the time, but my pop was an inventor and the "lifting float" concept is very usable. So glad you are trying all of that... it works and makes so much sense!!! Much love!

Dust is just one enemy of bonding, which composites, as you may have guessed, are so highly dependent on.

@briand3837 3 ай бұрын

I think it is OK to take personal risks, but not OK to endanger others. The majority of builders don't build quality aircraft like Mike Patey. I am an A&P and worked in a factory that produced kits and customers built their planes. Some were quite good and others atrocious. It just takes one oversight to be dangerous. For example, using a crimper from Home Depot to swage your control cables, not using a Go-No-Go gauge to check the quality of the swage. It may fly fine until one day the connection fails and you have lost your elevator control. And yes you could try to correct them but they haven't read the books or studied the material but they know more than you.@@gilkennedy7638

@ExperimentalAircraftChannel 3 ай бұрын

I believe MOST of these KITS will be factory assisted projects here due to the project scope. Probably very few stand alone builds unless the Builder has assembled several Aircraft (or a Mechanic). Not saying it's overly difficult. But considering cost and time. Etc etc.

The thing that kills most pilots is stalling. Is it possible to have an autopilot for the engine so that if the airspeed drops too low, and the pilot does not apply more power when the 'stall-soon' alarm sounds, the autopilot will automatically apply more power to avoid having the airspeed drop down below the point where the stall will begin to start ??

@tonylam9548 Ай бұрын

You had this 6.2 design for a long time, or else you could have saved a lot of R and D time by just buying the rights of the Super Stallion off Aircraft Design Calif. , designed by the late Martin Hollmann, and excellent 6 seat that can use either the Lycosaurus 540 or Chevy engines. Range is 2000 + miles, depends on how many wing compartments you close up for fuel, the Chevy engine is a bit more efficient. It look like a modern C210. The gear retract. There are about 4,5 flying.

A wing between floats to bear 90% of the weight of the floats, at what price?? Reduced airspeed, that would be the main penalty. 650 HP is a lot of HP for 4 seats. So you can spare the HP to fly that extra wing area, but it will drink like a PC 12, that is another penalty. I hear Walters been bought by GE a few years now, and that lead to the first engine to power the new Denali that is not a PT6. P and W needed competition badly. They were about 2 decades behind others introducing FADEC automation when they should have been the first, with a US parent company that did the lion's share of the R and D for you. But because of the lack of competition and they own 70% of the small turbine market, they were 20 years late.
