Diamond stab cross section - Dean Pappas<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=503355318-19112004><FONT face=Arial><FONT
color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>The first time I saw that technique
was in the early 80s when I was admiring one of Dean's gorgeous
'Maya' renditions. It had a diamond airfoil stab and he explained that
it made the elev stick softer around neutral. You see boys and girls,
that was before expo was invented! </FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=503355318-19112004><FONT face=Arial><FONT
color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>Speaking of Dean, he is the reason I got into
pattern. It was 1983 at Floyd Bennet field in Brooklyn NY and I was told
that the field was closed to regular flying the next day as there would
be a pattern contest at the site. So I went to the field very early to
get some flying in before the contest started. Suddenly an army of
trucks and vans started pulling up and a fleet of gorgeous pattern
planes were setup in the pits. I watched Dean fly three rolls in
the Master's pattern (don't laugh) and between the totally axial
rolls, smoke against the blue sky, and the gorgeous Tipo I was hooked.
At this point I am not sure whether to thank Dean or
not!</FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
