    Thanks for the numbers and you did a wonderful job explaining your previous numbers and wing stability compared to the new wing.

    Fwiw, I don’t know if you changed anything or not, but I don’t have any problems understanding you. It’s a little tinny is all. Really nice job with your rebuild.

    Nice video, I love doing these comparisons as well. Would have loved to see the difference in takeoff distance!

    Surprised you didn't pick up more speed. Maybe you've tried already, but I would try a bit more pitch in the prop. My Avid/Jabiru with the factory bungee gear would do 87 mph at 2850 with the two blade warp drive prop. Corrected ASI also, so I know it was right. I did loose 5 mph with the cabane style gear though. A bit less static rpm doesn't seem to hurt climb that much, but helps in cruise mode. Jim

      The inflight audio is unintelligible.
      My Avid/Jab with stol wing would do 95 @ 2850. It had VG’s under the leading edge, and under the horizontal, TN prop and Grove gear.

    What engine are you using? I used to own a Kitfox IV with an 80 hp Rotax and it would cruise at 100 miles an hour on about 4 gallons per hour. I really do miss that airplane. I’m flying RANS S 19 Ventura now behind a JABIRU, 3300 and cruise at 110 mph on 6 GPH.

    912 80 hp and which prop? Reset your prop pitch if you are over rpm on wide open throttle. What is the empty and gross weight of the plane?

      Jabiru engine and in that video I didn't want to change prop yet because I wanted a true comparison between the two wings. I have been playing with the prop pitch now it is still lots of fun.

    Stall speed? Rate of climb?

    • @builditright4666
      @builditright4666  2 роки тому +1

      Rate of climb is better with this wing averages at 1000 to 1200ftm Stall is all the same between 30 and 35mph

      @@builditright4666 I don’t make videos other than IG anymore… are you using the correct NFlightCam audio cable? They have one for GoPro and one for phone use, they’re ever so slightly different but will plug into the opposite. If you’ve got a phone one in a GoPro that could be the reason.
