It is not an insult man. Seriously. Sorry you took it that way. I obviously need to work on my delivery. The fault here is mine. Surely wasn't meant that way. Was just an observation. I would be %#$@ on my best day at what you do with excellence on your worst day.

This is something that bothers the crap out of me. Like literally would not get in the plane.
So maybe the question that arises is, given the vast damn knowledge in this forum, is would we as a community let this guy crater it in (if we are right) or will we pull together and get our voices heard in a reasonable way? Maybe even give the fella a deserved(?) helping hand?
Just cause he is trying don't mean he is perfect.
Guy is obviously smart and is obviously tired.
Are we excused then from helping?

So looking into that....
Question.. will the stress on the belt/drive rig ever be greater than when the ship is tethered and running full out on the ground on a cold morning at sea level?
Can it be?
Why not? in case missed http://www.epi-eng.com/propeller_reduct ... erview.htmQuote: In order for ANY belt drive to operate correctly, a certain amount of preload is required (covered in detail in our BELT DRIVES section). The high capacity toothbelts are made from fibers which cause the belts to shrink with increasing temperature, and conversely, expand as they get cooler. The metal sprockets and housings, often aluminum, behave just the opposite, and expand as temperature increases. The sum result is that the belt preload, typically set in a hangar environment, increases dramatically as the temperature of the components risses from the setup temperature, and conversely, decreases in colder temperatures.

Yeah... no.. Agree.. The teeth jumping is a real issue. But if the ailerons won't respond under flight loads the engine/redrive ain't the problem? Just playing it out as I see it right now. Happy to be disabused of my wrong thoughts.

[Admin edit] brilliant. Great catch. Solution if indeed this is a problem? I missed this. Makes perfect sense. Yes? How do you fix this?

Don't know the answers.
etc. Very curious to hear thoughtful thoughts. I can answer F. About 1/16" on my Velocity. Maybe 3/32".

Thank you!! How much load do you put on the surface (weight wise) to get that deflection? Have you measured (or can you as an example) what the deflection is with flight loads? And can someone here tell us what that is? 10lbs? 50lbs? I have no idea. Well.. I have an idea... but no practical knowledge. Anyone? Bueller?

Cables in this flexible flyer are probably not the best idea and could result in flutter with this much slop. Would you mind looking at the installation vids and identifying the problem? Are we running down the right path? Know there are some old souls here. Fellas? You have seen this played out before? Time to ask the gray beards at the city gates?
