Joe Hinkle 10 Posted July 2, 2007 The LEZ and Cozy identify the amout of Washout (twist) in the wing on the wing drawing .... On the Cozy - Chapter 19 - page 10 .... Drawing shows .6 degrees washin at the strake interface and 2.7 degress washout at the wing's tip. If you have a drawing of the VariExe's wing - could you please share what Burt identified as those values. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hinkle 10 Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks. I have that document and have studied it. It does not state the amount of washout. The wing section has the following statement: Tip Incidence, deg = -1.8 I take that as a measurement of the actual aircraft - not the design criteria. If that is correct, then the VariEze had a washout of 1.8 degrees and the LEZ/Cozy has a washout of 3.3 degrees over it's wing span. Does anyone know what the design criteria was?

TMann 26 Posted July 3, 2007 The Long-EZ wing design is different than the Vari-Eze. The Long-EZ was the basis for the Cozy design. This would explain the difference between them.

--D-- 10 Posted July 3, 2007 It does not state the amount of washout. Sure, it does. Root incidence and tip incidence are both given. Washout is 3 degrees. D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve 10 Posted December 13, 2009 Sure, it does. Root incidence and tip incidence are both given. Washout is 3 degrees. D could you elaborate ? will that change the water line ?can you see the 3.3 or can it be measured? Quote Steve M. Parkins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
