Area 51 - more excellent illustrations, thanks for the view on the drag caused by the speed kit fairings.

I think from your results, the inference is that the speed kit actually increases drag wr ...

Area-51, i follow your posts with great interest - thanks for posting all this in images we can all visualise.

A question that you might know some answers to: do you have any drag data that relates ...

Loving your posts on this topic, a great mix of detail and humour. Can i ask where you get your geometry from - do you use a 3D scanner? And which CAD and CAE analysis tools please?

On the potent ...

Thanks for your reply and i do understand your reasoning.

In the Automotive world (based upon ~20+ years in hands-on NVH development there), the other issues were 1) moving the resonating cavity/in ...

Hi Area-51, I follow your posts with much interest - not least because you have a handle on the engineering physics as evidenced by your simulation images.

I was going to say that whilst adding ma ...

Wondering if anyone has the full geometry for the Monowheel (and Tri if you have it) in OpenVSP format - that they would email me, please?

Failing that, if you have its geometry in any other format ...

Hi Arwel, your assumptions on the need for a generous cockpit exit air vent are are bang on correct. I did just this on my aircraft and put a 120mm dia 12v computer fan behind the panel as well to fo ...

Hi Rowland, i saw the approved copy of this MOD at one of my regular meetings with Andy Draper at the LAA's Offices on the 14th of April - so i know it exists/is in force, it just doesn't seem to be ...

Great posting theme idea Jim.

I'm changing all my rubber components at the moment and just completed taking out and refitting the engine to change the engine frame rubbers, and the fuel hoses etc ( ...

Hello Arwel,

The cowl screws are usually countersunk with a Tinnerman washer, the inspection hatch screws are dome-headed and the spats are also cross-head screws - but i don't recall the type or l ...

Fantastic, thanks for the image and the loads detail. Clive S

Graphical answer . . .

Really interesting graphic, could you post the same for a side view of the aircraft please?

Can i assume its is for a 'clean' Monowheel and for approximately what speed is ...

PS: i understand the LAA-supplied Shoot-Bolt Stop parts kit is made using Stereo Lithography which is a UV-cured resin process.

As such (and i did see one at my most recent visit (co-incidentally ...

If i may make some kind of input to this thread:

I was made aware of the impending issue by Andy Draper some two weeks before this was issued by the LAA. At the time it was clear that the LAA were ...

If i may offer a view:

I've owned and operated both a TriGear and now a Mono from airfields some 20-30mins drive from home. Hangar space was not available at either (and still isn't), and the char ...

If i may add my own two-pennarth on this topic:-

How much do you need? Would the residuals from the Europa kit suffice? I expect many of us have leftovers . . .
