Europa-List: Re: Angle of Incidence on a Classic Taildragger Downunder

[Richard Lamprey <lamprey.richard@gmail.com>]

Getting it right first time is good.  But also I dimly remember (from the days
of the Europa Newsletter, around 1997) the tale of G-KITS, the first factory 
demonstrator
for the Classic tri-gear, where one wing was accidentally built with
1 degree WASHIN, not 1.5 degree washout.  You would think it would have stall/
wingdrop characteristics from hell, but apparently it flew just fine, and
is still flying - I see its picture online.  So perhaps there is some leeway in
the AoI.
