since back of lakeland the bottoms winglets as been installed plus the 1/16"dia rudder cable as been also replaced by the 3/32"dia cable on wing parts only and also an aditional spring installed to increase the rudder tention for higher cable resistence on the nylaflow tubing.both timble been shorteen of 3/8" for the maximum rudder horn travel. for the attachement between the rudder horn and the cable we use the old velocity method as drilling and exagonal to insert an 3/32"dia hex.head self locking nut an than locked with an other 10/32" seftlocking nut see sketch as attachement.since than i been flying approx 8 to 10 hrs and the airplane is very stable at the yaw and no tendancy to shift at the left side on low speed climb after take-off. the right gear leg been replaced and after checked the old one i came-up to the conclusion about the cracking and i thing the cause was due to the first gear made with special high temp epoxy and been cured over 400 degre farenheight so the eposy look more brittle.now i use the original gear leg made with previous epoxy and it perform well. last week i been in touch whit scoot at the factory and he ship me a kit of vortex generator for testing on my velocity,last friday night i install those vortex generators on the wing only for the first test and i will install also on the canard later.i did flown last sathurday and today and i still more test to be done. the first result i obtain the aircraft is more stable at low speed and i have more aileron autority and they seem to work much smoother regarding stall testing i am waithing more votex generators from scott for the canard.as soon i complete all test i let you know. the present generator are located at 20 % of the wing cord this is the best location as per previous test been done on several aircraft. jean prudhomme velocity xlrg 300 hp N140JP
