the Patent process
Awesome, that is exactly what I wanted. My desire springs from a way to make money on a system I have developed, and the Patent Process is bizarre. I spent ten thousand dollars (unavoidable) to gain information that was useless. I should have directed it at development of the system, and networking with users.
Thank you, I am in your debt.
Actuator. That sounds like the T strip. But it also sounds like a stiffener at the corner of the Rudder, an area that takes great abuse at times. If, instead of driving the airstream, the corner is driven by jet blast, the stress is quite high, and in an unplanned for region, given its lightweight and the stop it has against a stronger structure, (the VStab).
The .25cm entry into the airstream would be interesting to compare, as percentage of chord, with the data John Tullamarine supplied. It sounds miniscule, but a week ago, I didn't know what a Tstrip was. Gotta love this place....
