  1. Anyone know the "clean" stall speed?

    Bob,

    i have a set of W10 plans which state stalling speed with flaps 43kts and stall speed without flaps 49kts @ gross of 646kg (1425lb)

     

    I was looking over a Tailwind this morning which is a regular visitor from Montpelier,beautiful aircraft i love them a bit heavy for RAA though.

     

    Its little sister the Wittman Buttercup would be a perfect fit for RAA http://luceair.com/replica_buttercup.html

  2. Oooh i don't know fellas i can see FD's point i don't think he is criticizing the Jab pilot for doing a go around but for taking so long to initiate it.

     

    The Jab has flown all of final watching a Trojan slowly backtracking towards him. Wouldn't it be better airmanship to initiate a go around sooner rather than later and get a call out in what i would assume to be a busy circuit at an airshow rather than getting his panties up in a bunch and buzzing the Trojan at 50ft?042_hide.gif.f5e8fb1d85d95ffa63d9b5a325bf422e.gif

  3. Hi all,I have been trying to help a fellow flyer with a VW engine. I am having trouble getting the baby to start. Looking for ideas or advice.

     

    It's a VW aero conversions.

     

    Magneto ignition that has been re-timed. It's a Bendix dual mag D4RN 2021. Has been timed to the K mark and E gap at R which I think is 8 deg BTDC. It has an impulse system to delay 20 Deg to assist with starting.

     

    When I check timing on the engine I can adjust it to open points at 8 Degrees BTDC. However the motor will not start. I get the occasional fire but just wont turn over.

     

    Any ideas? Does the timing sound correct? Any advice from some that have experience with the VW's or Magneto would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Jim Tatlock.
