I also made essential those
points in my response the Rules of Thumb.
I’ll admit to not thoroughly
reading all the posts lately. Busy times.
Also remember that if your installation is not exactly
like the one you may be borrowing ideas from, then yours is a different
installation and the variable values may not be the same, the interaction
and/or cumulative effect may not be the same, and therefore your results may
not be the same.
This is a key point. Rules of
thumb are just that; an approximation of the ballpark you should be in.
Every installation is different. Best to do the analysis, and some
testing (preferably before the first flight if you can).
BTW; ED – I admire the
intelligence, thoroughness, and patience shown in your responses on this forum.
A service to all of us. Look forward to meeting you when I get this bird
flying.
