[rebel-builders] Drag

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:12 pm

That's the funny part... it didn't slow me down at all....not even a
knot!..didn't cause yaw etc either. May have had a heavier power off sink
rate... but only got one flight in so unsure about that one.

very hard to compare props just using those numbers. Interesting drag

difference
to total drag. Sounds like using streamlined tube for the gear legs
would
make a noticable difference.

Yeah, that's amazing... I mean the balls you have to just go out and try
that...

We have an Outdoors and Sportsman show coming up here soon, so may have to
look for one of those. But then what will I do with my inflatable kayak and
canoe...

Maybe I should wait, though, to see if you survive a second flight.
