Looked at another way, it is the same as moving the engine, landing gear, and cockpit forward six inches, and I think we all agree that this would be a marvelous improvement in stability. The only adverse effect is that the downwash factor increases, which is a reduction in stability. To help this while saving an existing tail assembly, I would add about 25 percent of chord to the horizontal tail (gasp! choke!) ahead of its leading edge. This is far from the best solution, but it does the trick of increasing tail size without affecting an existing elevator, hinge line, and control system, which I assume Art Vanwinterswyke has. This is a late reply because I went off to the Rocky Mountain Regional Fly In at Longmont, Colorado, for the weekend. No KRs. Steve Alderman, where are you?

There's some debate as to whether or not the lack of pre and post heating leads to cracking. It depends on who you ask. Lionheart engine mounts are welded by TIG, but the guy is also certified to weld on Space Shuttle main engine nozzles, so I'd bet that he knows what he's doing. MIG is definitely the easiest to do, so if you're just beginning, and determined to do your own engine mount, MIG might just be the way to go.

It does take longer to learn to use it but you can do anything with it, including stress relieve all of your parts. It you use the electric rigs, you still have to perform a stress relieving heat treatment, which requires a torch or oven. I have a light-weight Victor that is OK, but after seeing a demonstration of a Henrob, I am ready to get one of them. Henrod advertises in the back of Sport Aviation and I think that they are well worth the price.

This happens with both a model A carb and a zenith. Is that normal or indication of too rich a mixture? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

All that remains to be done is to adjust the valves, make an intake, exhaust, and alternator brackets. Now if I can only find a place to continue building the airframe. I received my Aeroflash wingtip strobes and have ordered the Rocky Mountain Micro Monitor, Micro Encoder and a Westach Quad Gauge. All that remains to get for the instrument panel is a nav/com, transponder, and audio panel. http://n323xl.iwarp.com Go into my site after Friday and click on the update page and that page will have links to the updated pages. I am getting this out now because my ISP changed hands so I took the plunge and ordered a cable modem. My present email will stop working on Friday. My new service will be up on July 5th so I will be off the net for a few days. Here is what my new e-mail address will be: malodave@mediaone.net Please update your address books. Thanks, Dave Mullins Nashua, New Hampshire Http://n323xl.iwarp.com PS. Clemens, I have not forgotten you, I have been extremely busy at my work. I should be able to get your request finished over the next weekend. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2001 20:54:38 -0400 To: krnet@mailinglists.org From: Kenneth L Wiltrout Subject: N6399U Message-ID: <20010628.061954.-198597.0.klw1953@juno.com> Just wondering how much speed I could expect to pick up after I put wheel pants on my 2S tri gear.
