They use engine as "something heavy and noisy necessary for independent takeoff" </div><div>That pilots would like to have maximum glider ratio and they don´t need to have 100 hp for 10 m/s climb ratio or aerotow.</div><div>Then engine HKS 700E can be solution.</div><div>(more info about the engine is on web <a href="http://www.hks-power.co.jp/hks_aviation/">http://www.hks-power.co.jp/hks_aviation/</a>)</div><div>Because HKS 700E engine weight is low, we could use also retractible gear and still stay in UL category.</div><div><img width="700" height="332" title="HKS version" alt="HKS version" class="center" src="http://nd01.jxs.cz/012/697/baa3315d3e_36453041_o2.jpg" /></div><div><img width="700" height="543" title="HKS version detail" alt="HKS version detail" class="center" src="http://nd01.jxs.cz/566/913/6fd137b353_36453054_o2.jpg" /></div><div>Just an idea but.... what do you thing? </div><div>Best regards!</div><div>Martin</div> http://blackmonkeyclub.blog.cz/0811/hks-700e http://blackmonkeyclub.blog.cz/0811/hks-700e Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:49:59 +0100 The beginning.... <div>Dear friends,</div><div>in year 1925 Mr. Mojmir Dvorak wrote in his "Book about economical flying mashine" list of 10 basic requirements for small airplane:</div><div><br /></div><div>1) ideal aerodynamic solution</div><div>2) good economy of flight (ability to fly without engine = low fuel requirements)</div><div>3) easy and fine manoeuvrabillity</div><div>4) easy handling (ability to takeoff unassisted, if only pilot and passenger are present)</div><div>5) ability to be dismantled (for easy transport in train as a passenger luggage)</div><div>6) easy and fast assebmling</div><div>7) easy and cheap change of main parts</div><div>8) low price (comparable with the price of motorized bicycle)</div><div>9) engine and propeller must be a part of aiplane and should not disturb aerodynamic glider characteristics</div><div>10) engine must be at any time able to start or to be shut down</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, I hope you understand that I cannot offer you transport of your plane as "passenger luggage in the train" and also "price comparable with motorized bicycle" is something to be discussed .</div><div><br /></div><div>I personally agree with all requirements, but I thing Mr. Dvorak missed the main one.</div><div>Safety. First of all, plane must use all possible safety systems to protect pilots at any time.</div><div>But the rest is "supertemporal".</div><div><br /></div><div>And with all this basic ideas, we started to make U-15....</div><div><br /></div><div><img width="700" height="484" title="U-15 from side 2" alt="U-15 from side 2" class="center" src="http://nd01.jxs.cz/859/370/e8ff97f0ba_35915519_o2.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div><img width="700" height="341" title="U-15 from side" alt="U-15 from side" class="center" src="http://nd01.jxs.cz/262/793/b8eebfe2c7_35915498_o2.jpg" /></div><div>To be continued..... </div><div><br /></div><div>Best regards!</div><div>Martin<br /></div> http://blackmonkeyclub.blog.cz/0810/the-beginning http://blackmonkeyclub.blog.cz/0810/the-beginning Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:13:00 +0200 The end.... <div>Hello dear friends....</div><div>As you know, two years ago we started to turn our dreams to reality.</div><div>And from today I would like to inform you about history of our project, what we did, why we did, and what are results.</div><div>I hope you like TV show RED DWARF, because if not, sometimes you may will have problem to understand us </div><div><br /></div><div>So lets start from "The end"....</div><div>Now I want to show you what this BLOG will be about.</div><div><br /></div><div><img width="700" height="454" title="U-15 for text" alt="U-15 for text" class="center" src="http://nd01.jxs.cz/265/085/a5a2c8cb5e_35800033_o2.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, U-15....</div><div>Please enjoy the first photo of assembled plane </div><div>More info is on the way....</div><div><br /></div><div>Martin</div> http://blackmonkeyclub.blog.cz/0810/the-end http://blackmonkeyclub.blog.cz/0810/the-end Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:02:47 +0200
