[rebel-builders] O-360: keeping the front connected to the back
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:56 pm
I forget what I think you mentioned quite a while back...what altitude is
it you are hoping for the the bigger engine? I've got alpine lake interest
too living next to the Sierras, but have supposed I probably have to just
forget about it up there.
WRT tail strength, that Fus-30 doubler has got to help as it it ties into
the rear channel of the vertical stabilizer, so although it is required for
the side loads from the tail wheel on rough ground, it's benefits probably
go further in keeping the vertical stab on with a bigger prop wash. I also
thought when doing my tail section that it wouldn't be hard to add another
1/2 circle piece where the front of the vertical stab ties in with those 9
3/8 rivets.
...not to imply this is engineering.

I don't know specifically what had to change in the Moose for the M14. Does
anyone here know and can describe those changes? I assume it must have been
stress on the vertical fin by the bigger side wash of that big paddle end
prop.

I would think a good place to start would be to copy the upgrades to the
tail that made a Super Rebel into a Moose.

Hi Walter,
Have you (or anyone else) looked into the limits or improving the limits on
keeping the tail on the plane with increased HP up front? Are there any
advised upgrades besides trading your plane for an Elite? Or limiting
power at lower altitude?
