How is your flying and your aircraft coming along?>>
John, you really know how to hurt a guy. After finally getting the plane
,and me, rechecked out and certicated with test flying etc all done just
before Xmas. I have run into electrical problems involving the fitting of a
larger battery, in a different place of course. This should be done in the
next couple of days and then I shall have to recalculate the C of G and then
with luck, Wx permitting, which is unlikely according to the forecast I may
be able to fly. Providing the strip is not still under water. We have
floods for the 3rd time this year. Gales and Very low temps forecast for
Easter.
Looking back. I wish that I had bought a plane from the second hand market
and then I would at least have continued to fly. during the protracted
rebuild and the follow on problems. Hindsight is always 20/20 vision.
Have fun on you planned trek to MV and beyond.
Cheers
Pat

Regarding "missing" center section between wings on MkIII:
Attached are a couple photos of Bob Bean's MKIII (and my Allegro) with "missing" center section. You can't see it in the photo very well but Bob made some Lexan end plates (airflow fences) that are the shape of the airfoil plus about 2-3" all around. According to my memory, the addition of the airflow fences made a very big improvement compared to flying it without the fences. BB can chime in any time if my memory is in error.

I put the fences on after flying it with no center section. I could
tell a lot of lift was being lost.
The fences prevent spillage off the wing roots. I figure I have the
best arrangement due to
better airflow and less drag. Any airfoil that has an engine popping
up through it can't provide much lift.
I have since thought about a tip modification but won't mess with
that until I bash something.

Interesting. Hard to tell from the pictures, it looks like they're only
about 2" high, is that right? Surprising that such a low fence would have
that much effect. Another plus is that you could leave a cutout in the
root so you could see into the wing for inspection, and the lexan would
cover it. Do they get in the way of folding the wings?

I started out with nothing. I still have most of it left.
