REFLECTOR: Velocity SE wing vs. Long-EZ wing

[Chuck Jensen]

The EZ canards that had this lift-loss in rain report they see water
pooling on top of the aft part of the canard just ahead of the elevator,
though addition of VGs to keep the air attached seems to sweep away the
water and prevents the loss of lift.  I can report that I've never seen
water pooling and nor experienced loss of lift in the rain, so Danny's
NASA engineer must have done his job for the Velo.

And as I understand it, Danny Maher also commissioned a NASA engineer to
develop a canard airfoil that would not loose lift in the rain.  It
works - I have never had a problem - even in a very heavy rain.

	Velocity went through an extensive test and development program
to remove deep stall.  The result was a modified wing shape for the
Velocity.

	It would be interesting to know if it is based on the GU vs
Roncz canard

	As far as I know the the main wing airfoil is the same on all
the canards, EZ, Cozy, Velocity...
	
	I'm not sure about the canard airfoil..

		The Cozy IV has the same exact airfoil as the Cozy III
and Long-EZ, but
		the mounting has been changed with the Cozy IV.  I'm
wondering (for

early/first Velocity
		aircraft designs -- the ones that evolved from the
Long-EZ design.
		Anyone know?
