JR Indoor Electric Festival - 2005/03
THE SECOND ANNUAL JR Indoor Electric Festival was
held November 6-7, 2004, at the Four Seasons Golf Dome in
Columbus, Ohio. The event director—well-known Scale
modeler/competitor Terry Nitsch—attracted almost 120 pilots,
22 vendors, and hundreds of spectators in his second year of
running the event.
Canards and Stability
TAIL-FIRST aircraft have intrigued the minds of men since Orville and Wilbur pushed their `unstable' canard Wright Flyer into the air at Kitty Hawk. Yes, the aircraft they flew that day was terribly `aft' heavy, and had Orville gone much higher than he did that day, he probably would have done considerable damage to himself and their craft. What is this desperately needed thing called stability, and why is it harder to find in a canard-type aircraft? The answer will have to come from an understanding of conventional aft-tail-configured aircraft.
