It's been about ten years since I flew the Ho. But, there is an SB from Lycoming that specifically prohibits reduced power T/O's due to two stage metering valve that increased the fuel flow at high power settings for improved engine cooling. To use reduced power for t/o may void your A/C's airworthi...

just curious wrote:Since Vref is 1.3 X Vso, we generally like to cross the threshold at that speed , retard the power, and rotate the nose up to touch at Vso. Easier on the tires & runway consumption.
What JC said. World standard for wind correction is 1/2 the constant+ all the gust up to Vref+15

Mach Tuck is different from flutter. The P38 ended up with dive brakes installed. which reduced airspeed to point that aerodynamic control was regained. 1.Flutter tends to be resolved by adding mass balances, or stiffening of the control circuit ie: double balance tab arms, thicker skins, mass balan...

Max, I think the weights on thew elevator are more for flutter /aerodynamic balance than stability. Test flights revealed that tail flutter was a problem. During high-speed flight, especially during dives, the airplane's tail would begin to shake violently and the nose would drop. Once caught in thi...

How about we screwed up, and don't want to redesign the tail/ and jigs. or we changed this and it affects the above. ie: look at the early p51 d no dorsal extension, operations found not enough yaw stability, to add extra fin area would require redesign and a 2-3 month lead time, and more money.
