I used to think the same
thing (draggy airfoil) but I think the problem with RVs over 220 is
related to wing / tail / fuselage incidence. At 220 I get
the visual impression that I am in a dive during level flight.
Ever thought about reflexing the
flaps a bit to knock off some of the extra lift of the wing. Sure you have
:-)
The early Citation jets
used the same airfoil as the lowly RV.
Yeah, but aren't they the butt of
every slow jet joke
:-)
What does Dave Anders do to
go so fast? Is it just attention to detail for a clean airframe, or does
he have some real secret to rigging the plane?
Cheers,
Rusty (going to pay for that extra 3 inches of head
room in
my canopy)
