[rebel-builders] Moose - fin, etc.
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:08 am
You're the first one that noticed that (that said anything) - a little over
5 inches on the top of the rudder and the aerodynamic balance goes all the
way forward. Seems to work well but I don't have much to compare it to.
The spinner helped me with cooling too, I had too much intake area and not
enough outlet. Added the spinner and some louvers and all seems well. Yes
the 21 inch tires are better on the pavement - the larger tires weren't
meant for those kinds of speeds on pavement and wear pretty fast, should be
fine off pavement. The tail wheel is an XP Mod 10 inch.

Hi Scott !
"Makes the fin look too short ...." Hmmmmm.... just had a peek at
yours - lots of interesting features ! Looks like you added about
6 inches or more to the top of the rudder ???? If so, how do you
like it ?? Probably a bit more stable in yaw....
Have visited spots on your site at times, but this is the first
time I've really looked around. Thank you for a very useful site !
And congratulations on your very pretty Moose - nice paint !!
The spinner finishes it nicely. I guess the smaller wheels are
a LOT nicer on pavement ... ;-) :-) Is that a Scott 3200 I see ?
