We can have Quiz here, may be you could give some toffees to guys who answer right
anyone can start the quiz, multiple quiz can start together, whoever starts the quiz please number it, or give it a name or some identifier, guys answering out of the sequence, identify the quiz number and then post your answer, that way any newbie/guest can co-relate easily
Request
Shoot from your own logic, avoid picking answer from google, that way you will exercise your brain, not cyber brain
Quiz No 1
Does the weight matter in case of crosswind landing? if yes why? if no why? if the answer is yes and no qualify.
reward ?
toffee !!
Yes the weight matters, because if the weight is more, the plane will be more stable rather than light weight which will get disturbed by the cross wing. 8-) just guessing. >:D
QUIZ No 2
(Related to Multi-rotors)
You know that a pair of CW and CCW props each are used for a quadcopter, and this is done to compensate the unnecessary yaw effect caused when all props are rotating in the same direction.
QUESTION: If a person wishes to use only CW or CCW props on all 4 rotors, but still wants to avoid the unnecessary yaw, what should he do?
This was an easy one.

Mount first & third motor facing top & the other two towards bottom

That's something like Y4, Nah, That guy wants to build a QUADCOPTER. ;D

My views to
QUIZ 1
yes the weight is very important factor may it be in in head wind or in the cross wind condition... specially in cross wind. where if the weight is less then the plane will drift easily and will be difficult in getting it in line of the flight path. or the approach. in such case more crabbing will be required.
in case of more weight since the air speed being low( wind is cross so no air flow directly over the wing) u need to have more ground speed in order to avoid stall.... this may lead to a fast landing or a bit harder one... the weight does matter
thats why always on a plane i get the seat above the wing (may be to maintain the CG) :giggle: :giggle:
QUIZ 2
u can cancel the torque effect by ...slightly rotation of the motor against the direction of the torque. a slight rotation of even 1-2 degree will have a efffect..
Ans to Quiz Number 1The path that you follow on ground is called TMG (Track Made Good), in a crosswind condition your aircraft nose is to one side the difference between both is is called Track Error (TE), Drift correction Angle (DCA) is same as Track Error however reverse in sense (You apply DCA in opposite sense of TE to follow the desired TMG)
Formula for DCA (Modified for RC)
Drift Correction Angle =SIN-1 [(V/AS)SIN (W-Hdg)]
V=Wind Velocity
AS=Airspeed
W=Wind Direction
Hdg=Heading
if you notice this formula, there is no weight in this, what determines the
Crab as it is called colloquially is the speed at which you carry out you approach to landing, weight has nothing to do with it,
here is my post on the same subject earlier

wind effect on an aircraft has nothing to do with weight.
DCA=SIN to the -1 [(V/TAS)SIN (W-TC)]
DCA=Drift Correction Error
V=Wind Velocity
TAS=True Airspeed
W=Wind Direction
TC=True Course
where is weight this, it is only the forward speed, sounds impossible but true, a huge passenger jet which lands at low speed has tremendous problem of landing, controlling, turbulence effect and what not, a fighter jet especially mig series , don't cater for wind at all.
Quiz on weight to wind effectNext Quiz is
What is the effect that you see of wind on small, light weight aircraft, how do you prove yes weight does effect in some way
yes Aerovishwa.
That yaw effect can be cancelled by tilting a pair of opposite motors by 5-10degrees. If not, a combo a CW and CCW props is used.
