REFLECTOR: Velocity 20B update

[steve korney]

I have a Std. RG IO-360 CS MT prop...

Alan Shaw built it in 1992...

Wing span at rudder trailing edge is 348.5 inches...29.04 ft.

Canard span at trailing edge is 162 inches...13.5 ft.
The elevator is 154 inches... NO CUFF.... Runs out of elevator on landing at 
75 knots ias with 400 lbs. in the front seat... At 170 kts the elevator is 
1/2 inch down elevator..(trailing edge up 1/2 inch)... Sparrow Strainer 
configured to push trailing edge of elevator up the faster you go...

Best... Steve

On my XL, I have the Wingco canard and your Leading

Edge Extensions (which are great - thank you). I'm not

experiencing the problem you are seeing.



I think your configuration of 'small' wings and

'longer' Wingco canard (162" not including tips) may

be fairly unique. Have you heard from anyone flying

this specific set-up?



Apparently there isn't an issue with the XL, and I don't know about the 173
LW.  I wouldn't think the standard wing version with Wingco wings and canard
should be unusual, but that's what I'm trying to find out about.



Hiroo - I'm curious why you replaced your Wingco canard.  Is it smaller in
ways other than the span, and a bit less camber?



Thanks,



Al
