    We've been getting a lot of comments about us using the term "slot" instead of "slat". Here's why we used "slot".🤓Slats are adjustable and move. Slots are fixed and don’t move. Slots can be full span or partial span (think globe swift or Stinson for partial) and can be built into the wing or mounted on front (think Zenith 701 for on front). Slots like the ones on our beaver can technically be referred to as “fixed slats” but they aren’t true slats by definition since they don’t move. 👍More info: www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/leading-edge-slot-lift-device/ 📦✈

      I am well aware as I have been an aircraft mechanic for over 40 years and I’ve gone through all the schools. slats in the front flaps in the back are devices used to create additional lift whether they move or not. But it is your video.kiwi4

    • @TailHeavyProductions
      @TailHeavyProductions  Рік тому +1

      @@ThreePilotsFPV We'll have to agree to disagree. Take a peek at the above article in the pinned comment and you can even find info on slots in the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook which I use to teach my full-scale students as well. Aircraft like a Stinson and Zenith 701 are great examples I show my students to differentiate between a slat and a slot since these aircraft's leading edge devices are fixed. Note the thumbnail of our video - "fixed slats" is also an acceptable term. Even at my day job flying jets, we refer to slats as moving leading edge devices that increase lift on our wings when deployed. At the end of the day, language is fluid - so use what works for you.

      Thanks! That unfortunately hasn't been a plane we've been eyeing, but we'll keep it in mind. Also, in general, it's best to avoid balsa planes for actual confined area RC bush flying as they don't take the same level of abuse as the foamies do, especially around the landing gear. Foam is also much easier to repair.

    SLATS not slots…
    Of course larger tires 🛞 change “the way a plane flies “.
    They add massive amounts of drag down very low.
    The main reason that you have poor high AOA performance and control as well as stability is that the blocky slats disrupt airflow over the entire top of the wing.
    Your aileron extensions don’t work because they are also too crude with blunt square leading edges.
    Your “ brilliant “ mods also shift the overall aerodynamic center of pressure forward making the plane unstable in pitch and yaw.
