Hi Glenn, you look like you are making good progress with the build. Still haven't started mine, the extension just seems to go on and on. Near the end now though. Have you decided to move back to the big smoke yet.

Hi Glenn, I would like you to ask your friend that built many CH300 tri z, why the leading edge of the wings is always mounted under the trailling edge to me it doesn't seems right, there must be a logical explanation. I'm getting ready to close up all the wings. Best regards Roger

Hi Roger, I can answer that for you as Bob and have already discussed it relating to my 601 build. Apparently, when the air flows over a leading edge that overlaps a trailing edge, a small vortex forms creating a slight disturbance in the airflow. Now obviously this will still happen when the leading edge is fitted under the trailing edge skin, but apparently the disturbance is somewhat less... enough for Chris Heintz to design it this way and I do recall having read him commenting on this somewhere.

You can do it in the reverse manner and some people do, but I have done it this way on my 601 rudder and will do on the wings if that's what the plans say.

Of course, ideally, there would be no join in the skin, but that would be much harder for homebuilders to produce I guess.

I will send you Bob's email address privately, or you can visit his site at www.avtours.com.au

Keep in touch!

Glenn.

Hi Glenn
How are you going. I still have these canopy frame parts here for you. Are you still interested? I have no use for them so make me an offer.

Regards
Phill
