Hi Cory,
It is the season where the following seems to spice things:
HERE.
Sweeney's Glider
Clip from the video:
No harness, no shoes, no helmet, no shirt,
lots of friends,
... child of joy ...
[It looks like shoes may have been used in final flights of the session. What say you, Terry?]
Glider: Span: 18 ft. Two wing decks. Lower deck has no-covering in a mid area to allow pilot operations. Airfoil chord: 4 ft. Deck separation: 4 ft. Airfoil has upper and lower covering. Box tail. Empty weight: 33 lb Aluminum tubing. Appears to be with polyethylene film covering, guessed. Wing area guessed from video words: 2(4x18)-(2x4)=144-8=136 About 136 sq. ft. Pants and Terry plus 33 lb ....? Terry, how much did you weigh then? Wing loading: ? Rib curve? Airfoil specification?
