Yes. Gliders have a very short relative tail to aileron distance so much more rudder is needed to counteract adverse aileron yaw. It's as you said a matter of rudder force times distance of the rudder to the centre of gravity creating a moment on the aircraft. -
I believe that casa have committees that look into your fitness to fly. Takes a while to assemble a lot of people. Committees are great no single person can be responsible! Consultants are often used as a means of deflecting blame,,

Just about the same happened to me except that the specialist wrote an immediate reply virtually telling casa how ridiculous their claim that there could be a problem was not valid. It was cysts on the kidney issue benign and large proportions of the population have them.

Anyone built a Teenie Two?
Geoff_H replied to Geoff_H's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
The windwagon is nearly identical to Hummel, they are linked. Wing chord is one of the very few differences -

Geoff_H replied to Geoff_H's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
The Hummel aircraft is a derivation of the Windwagon and the Hummel. The Windwagon has smaller chord wings, faster but not sure which wings would be better. Any ideas on which to choose. I Waa thinking of an industrial v, but again maybe the 1/2 vw would be best. Any ideas. Geoff -

I visited Spacey, really nice guy, sat in his very nice Hummel. I am convinced it is the way to go. I have started working on my Hummel. -

Geoff_H replied to Geoff_H's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
Trouble Nev is my passport is out of date so I can't enter Victoria (lol). Spacey lives only a handful of kilometres away from me. I am hoping that he can put some light on the issue. I think that the Hummel classic, which seems to be more relevant to me is being discontinued. Very little seems available as the company appears to be heading in the direction for kits. -

I went and looked at the HB. Plans are out of stock! Why would this be? Surely they only take a day to make. Are they stopping offering these plans in preference to another aircraft in their line-up. -

I am having a serious look at building a Teenie Two. Has anyone on this website built one? If so would you have any comments on the subject?

Hydrogen-powered 'flying car' to be used in emergencies
Geoff_H replied to red750's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
To my mathematical thoughts and studying and a huge proponent of hydrogen I think it is extremely "ambitious ". -
It's my opinion ion that driving a big train is more about economic loss. Blocking the line and stopping iron ore getting through is many millions of dollars. Theft crimes get bigger sentences than murder! CASA has the problem that they are responsible for the safety of the air. So if someone dies at the controls they could theoretically be sued. Losing more than 1 cent by a public servant is a serious issue. Could result in dismissal.
