STOL performances

Thanks everybody for your reply. Do you have any information guys about the new composite leading edge? Do you think it will lower the stall speed? Are you expecting a noticeable effect on the flight characteristics?

Salut Patrick, I send an e-mail to john McBean and I ask questions apropos of the composite leading edge kit (C.L.E.), I did a thread on that but had no responce so I push a little forward my investigation there is the result:

1-Do we need the bottom false ribs kit, if installing the C.L.E.?
No.. but I would recommend them.



2-Is there any place to install a pair of LED landing light in the C.L.E.?
No.. We have wing tips that are designed for the MicroSun LED lights. http://www.aeroleds.com/landing-lights/experimental.aspx



3-Do you have any picture of this C.L.E. install on a wing without the fabric cover it and covered?
Yes attached



4-Dose LED position light can be install on the Horner style wingtips, it seem thin on the edge?
We have Nav/Strobe Standoffs when installing the position lights



4-Do you have a video covering the construction of a kit fox it will be nice to have such video to support the Assembly Manual?
No.. not yet.. it is something we want to start working towards.. but there is much there. It will take time.



Merci for your attentiveness, John
You’re Welcome.. Vous etes bienvenue.. If I remember correctly J but please don’t test my French… many, many years and I’m afraid I would fail….

Like DesertFox4 sead, John has no number to support the fact that the wing is more efficient, but I am sure that they will come in a near future.

Bonne Journée a tous!
