Redtail,

I would send you a copy but the pages from the PROCAT doc server in the UK are very large. I can't fit them in my copier or scanner. Otherwise they would be on my web page.

I am going to a local copy store and get them in electronic copy ASAP. I will send it immediately after that.

Hi F4UDOA,

>Also if the F4U climbs with cowl flaps open then it will accelerate better than it climbs because it's drag condition is lower.

Climb and acceleration are directly proportional in each of the two conditions.

Opening or closing the cowl flaps means changing the condition, but not that the concept of proportionality between climb and acceleration is wrong :-)

Regards,
