I just "discovered" the barefoot pub! I had no idea you guys were talking in here too! What kind of stuff are we supposed to talk about here that's different from the main forum?!
I'm confused...

Its R/C specific. I am an aerospace engineering student and my colleges aero design team designed and built this plane for the SAE international competition in California (we got 1st in the advanced class
) . Your son might find this interesting: on the wings are flaps that deploy on their own during high angles of attack, this changes the shape of the airfoil and gives the plane more lift helping it to level out/ achieve more lift at these high angles. Theoretically it can create over 10% more lift at these angles. The technology is biologically based from the observation of birds. This is a newer concept in wing design and still needs testing (it did post positive results in our schools wind-tunnel), but it seems to work (the club president is doing research on it with a professor) and produce low reynolds numbers.

Now THAT is cool!
I've watched the Helio Courier's leading edge slats micro-adjust themselves as needed based on AOA, but I must say I've never thought about trailing edge devices doing the same.
I'm still trying to talk TJ into joining me at the 5K in two weeks Saturday morning at EAA Airventure Oshkosh, maybe we can convince you to make the trek as well!

if Oshkosh wasn't 11.5 hours
if Oshkosh wasn't 11.5 hours and 700 miles away from my house id definitely be there (I think my truck gets around 20-23 mpg highway).

Thing is once you're there
Thing is once you're there you don't need much money.
The camping is cheap, and although the wristband will set you back, there's nothing else to spend money on except food, which can be easily done at the grocery stores.
Now buying that dream homebuilt kit is another story........
30,000 people camping on the field itself, 3,000 show planes, 30,000 total aircraft,
there's nothing like it!
You should be able to round up a few fellow students to share the ride and fuel bill, as well as the campsite fee.
The 5K is just the icing on the cake!

Now you're talking my hubby's
Now you're talking my hubby's language, Kean.
Board, Scott said there would be 700,000 people there. Surely, he's BSing.
He just got his IFR (working on Commerical, then twin), but I don't want him to fly there in a little Cessna if it's raining; so, if it is raining, I might have talked him into the whole family flying in commerically. If so, I hope to beat you at that 5K! Stay tuned...

We've not missed a year since
We've not missed a year since '90, and the attendence has ranged from 700,000 to 950,000 in that time.
Given the current economic woes , 700,000 this year sounds about right.
Two BF runners might be a bit more than that conservative crowd at OSH can handle, but formation flying, formation BFRunning, it all seems to fit just fine.
