Re: Pitts Python Video!!
MAN, this thing is gorgeous... one of my buddies already pre-ordered one and has a DA-50 on the way for it. I can't wait to see it fly!
Any discount for FG members since I'm poor?  jk

Re: Pitts Python Video!!
Forget about the planes. Those guys at Aeroworks know how to stir a buzz. Look at those ladies. Damn!

Re: Pitts Python Video!!
Well, lets see. Airfoil ordinates are simply points that define the shape of the airfoil. The numbers are given in percentage of the wing chord. A 10% airfoil ( as it were) is very thin in comparison to say something like a funfly 3D plane( ie Funtana 90. Very FAT airfoil. Thicker the airfoil the greater the floating capability of that wing. More lift. This is a good reason most funfly type planes have a very thick wing. They are very forgiving. ) The new QQ Python is said to have a very lean airfoil cross section. This airfoil would be very desireable for prescision aerobatics. Take a look next time between the various HOT PYTHONS just being released. Notice the differance in airfooil thicknesses. Hope that helps. PS QQ was at our feild a few months ago and it came up in a conversation. |

Re: Pitts Python Video!!
Slap a 85 in that bad boy with all that wing area! Would be awesome!

Re: Pitts Python Video!!
a 10% airfoil is determined by measuring the thickest part of the wing and dividing that measurement by the chord length. for example a 1" thick cross section and a 10" cord would yield 1/10 x 100 = 10%
for biplanes anything from 8-11% will yield a plane that will snap well and and have a good 3d ability. anything smaller and you will have great snapping plane but 3d will suffer. anything above 11-12% and it will do harrier type maneuvers and 3d but lack in snapping abilities. again, this is for biplanes only, monoplanes have a total different aspect and required percentages that they need. i think aeroworks got the numbers right! hope this helps. toby.... www.silhavyaerosports.net |
