Avidventurous added a post in a topic Avid C Stol Rib Profile
The reason I was asking for this is I plan to make templates for the KitFox type rib tails. When I got my plane, one wing had ALL the Flapperon Hangerons broken off. I originally was going to fix them with wood and later decided I liked the KitFox aluminum setup much better.
Since I am an EAA member, I downloaded (and plan to learn how to use) Solid Edge. Fortunately, our company has an ME that knows Solid Works and could probably help me get started with Solid Edge. Coincidentally we both share the name Keith.
A big THANK YOU to Jim Chuk
EDIT: If I get workable templates made for all the parts, I certainly will post them on the forum.

Avid C Stol Rib ProfileHey guys. I apologize for asking something so obvious but I looked for quite some time and couldn't find it.
I"m looking for an Excel Sheet or table of plot points for a Stol wing WITH ribtails for the flaperons. A 1:1 drawing or template would help also. I"m pretty sure it's already in the forum somewhere but I can't find it.
THANKS

TubiclesThis probably isn't the proper forum for this post. If so, feel free to move it.
I thought you guys might be interested in an interesting quirk in hydrodynamics. I stumbled across this video on Utube. Please check out the first segment, although the rest of them are interesting also.

Fatal In An AvidI just heard about an avid going down in Michigan. Evidently the passenger drowned but the pilot escaped. Heard abut it on Dan Gryder's channel. Time count 37:25

Avidventurous added a post in a topic Avid with a Volkswagen
Those 92mm pistons with a stock stroke of 69mm makes an 1835cc. That configuration was very popular with the bug crowd years ago. When I built my bug I used 90.5 for 1755cc. The outside dimension is the same as 92 so I have thicker cylinder walls.
There are tons of hot rod parts for VW out there but most of them make the horsepower at higher RPM which won't work well for a plane without a reduction unit.
Keep us posted.

Welcome to the flock. Farcebook has killed a LOT of forums. I once belonged to a very good local horse riding forum. It faded into oblivion.....

you can find a lot of threads here about how crummy the performance is, poor rate of climb etc. However this guy doesn't seem to have much problem.
