I'm confused, why would you want to reduce the stall speed on the canards with the vortex generators? Don't you want the canards to stall before the main wing stalls? I would think that if anything you would want to put the vortex generators on the main wing to stop dangerous pitching up in a stall :S
I knew someone about twenty years ago with a Velocity. These planes are absolutely incredible.
I love these experimental plane flight videos. Thanks!
I love this guy’s dry sense of humor 😅
Great demo vid. Thanx
Sweet little ride, nice review.
the was about the time of the Velocity SE release, i think ....i don't know how they compare, but kudos to the guy for finishing it out so nicely.
Vortex generators increase the minimum drag and decrease the maximum lift-to-drag ratio. They can help in slow flight as in takeoff and landing, BUT they will reduce cruise speed, nothing is free. Other than that, this is a beautiful speciment of a plane.
Looks like a dern great ride. 👍
Very nice video aircraft is really neat and worth the effort you made building it. Thanks for the flight. :o)
Cool plane!
Would have liked to see take off.
looks like it would be fun, for two people...not sure I'd want four....
Nice Cozy!
I want one.
Thank you
You could tell his workmanship is top notch and he knows that plane inside and out. That landing was impressive as well!
Great video and nice Cozy. My Cozy IV will cruise at 185 knots burning < 6.5 gph LOP. My Lightspeed electronic ignition helps. Mine first flew in 2001 and has almost 1000 hrs on it. I have done several 1000 mi non-stop flights FL to CT. On those flights I land with about 15 gal of fuel left starting with 40 gal (topped off with the nose down). I am curious, how do you get 165K views and 22K subscribers? My Cozy videos are no where near that poplular.
Люблю Уток Рутана❤ Они эстетичны и производительны, но "чайникам" не поддаються🤗
Accessibility for passengers would be a concern, OK if you're young and fit otherwise how do you get in?
