Hello Ferg and others,
With the sum total of a couple of landings in a mono, I speak from
observation rather than experience.
When people talk about stalling the mono on landing (the ideal thing to do
IMHO), I cannot help but wonder how the mono CAN stall unless the tail wheel
only is on the ground and the main wheel considerably above. My reasoning
is that because the deck angle of the fuse (with main and tail wheels on the
ground) is around 7 degrees from memory. (too lazy to check the manual at
the moment) and the wing incidence is 2.5 degrees, this means the angle of
attack of the wings with both wheels on the ground is around 9.5 degrees.
If I remember correctly, a wing stalls with an AOA of around 14 degrees.
Considering that when landing the wing is also in the influence of 'ground
effect', can somebody explain to me how the wing can possibly properly stall
with such a low AOA ?
Cheers
Kingsley
