A few days ago someone had some questions about the viability of electric and
how practical it is for the average competitor. I never any replies on the
list. Were they all private replies or did my ISP block all the

Re: Diamond stab cross section - Dean Pappas<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I wonder if the diamond airfoil really worked. If it worked so
well, why don't people still use that feature?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Speaking of that, remember the anhedral stabs? I think Hanno Prettner
started it, won the world champs with one. Next thing you know, everyone had
anhedral stabs. I remember some people saying that if you did not have
anhedral in your stab, you weren't competitive.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I remember hearing years later that the main reason Prettner used
anhedral in the stab was because his new design did not fly well and needed
the stab lowered. Was easier to cut it and bend it down. Don't know for sure
if that is true, but was believable.</DIV>
