<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some more thoughts......</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Panacea is consistent with the
current design trend: big fuselage and smaller wing area, both of
which I think are very beneficial and make this type design superior to
other designs having less fuselage side area and larger wing area. My
perspective on this comes from flying a Smaragd for the last 2-1/2
years. I have not seen anyone fly these "newer" designs and not be
improved by them. The smaller wing area (i.e., generally higher wing
loading than most designs) helps greatly with snaps, and the larger side
area makes rolling maneuvers effortless. Interestingly, the Smaragd has
only 850 in2 projected wing area. The side lift on the Smaragd is so much
more than the previous generation designs that you tend to over do the rudder
input at first; rudder needs to come in noticeably later. Of course, it is
not just side area that counts, it is the distribution of side
area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Designs like the Smaragd may not
appeal to everyone as the design has a fair amount of drag due to its
frontal area, and one needs to be conscience of this in order to avoid
slowing down too much in certain maneuvers. However, I find the drag
profile of Smaragd-like designs helpful in controlling airspeed as you tend
to control airspeed more by applying power (4-stroke being used
here) than by reducing power as was the case for designs of just a few
years ago. For me this results in a more consistent performance
across a range of weather conditions.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That screech on the Composite ARF models is their
signature sound. Since the aileron hinge line is on the top of the
wing, a large opens up on the bottom of the wing when an aileron is
raised a bunch, hence the screech. Usually when the planes are
assembled, guys trim back the plastic covers that are designed to seal that
gap, because they add a fairly stuff resistance to movement as proved by the
factory.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Seeing Todd fly both the Panacea and his new 35% Composite ARF was awe
inspiring to say the very least. I still would like to know what that
screech was that his plane made when he performed that last snap roll. He is
the best pilot I have ever seen in person. Single roll rolling circle with a
snap between each quarter,, sheesh!!!

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had an opportunity to observe (and judge)
Todd Blose's PAC "Panacea", designed by Tony Stillman.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Even with so few flights on it, he looked
very solid, and the plane presented very well. I was amazed at it's
ability to stay put, and still have good penetration. Looked
great!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It handled the P-05 Snaps, and all those
Reversing Rolls with ease. First one of these I've seen, and sure
looks like it could be a real winner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW - the front end is so big, that if a
person ran the OS 1.60 with wrap-around header, there would STILL not be
any cutting required. The fuse opening is large enough to put most
other airplanes' canopies inside!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It was a surprise to see
something this large and easy to see...yet fly so well in those
conditions!</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
