EAA493 Mailing List: Re: New bush plane, Super Cub replacement?

[Dale Elliott (chippiepig]

You know me.  Always asking questions.

1. Curious about the "pitch-over” tendency during initial part of takeoff roll and during a refused landing (go around, aborted attempt, etc).  Engines are definitely above the pitch axis pivot point (moment arm?).  It has got to be a consideration.  Suspect that’s why the rear engine looks like it’s pointed straight at the horizontal elevator surfaces.

2. Fuel?  I think cubs are gravity fed?  But doubling the fuel load doesn’t seem realistic in that design.  Wouldn’t think it has much range.  Can it get to the “bush?"

3. Doesn’t look that “cubby”.  Landing gear, wing (?), vertical tail.  Cub guys would know what else.  Flaps don’t seem too cubby.  Lots more moving parts than your run of the mill Cub.

Interesting!
