Maybe it WAS off the correct thrust line and Wayne has found it (vertically) just as Mark found it (in the yaw axis). :lol:

Wayne Mackey said:Did a few tests today on performance. Nothing to formal. landings and take off on gravel bar, about 70 degrees and 3000' alt. About 15 gals fuel and me sorry to say 250 lbs. 2 landings into the 3 -4 nott wind at about 60' 2 landings with same tail wind at about 120'. No wind should be 90' Did the same for take off both ways and they were about 15 to 20' longer than the landing. As time goes on we will come up with more numbers with some weight in the plane. So far I am happy with the plane and it's performance with only 150 HP.
I just finished my second exp pa-12, and while we are talking wing mods here is what i did,it is an extended wing with 8'flaps and 8' ailerons, fences,VG'S and a cuff on the out board 8'. the reason i only put the cuff on the last 8' was to keep the inboard section of the wing stalling first thus there should be little to no tendency to drop a wing in slow flight as the root would stall first.20% of my flying is on skis 80% on floats so the slats wouldn't be a big help to me.Thoughts?
i would post a pic but i still haven't figured out how yet so if someone pm's me i'll send them one to post.
