Just a curiosity question.
Since I just again completed reading
on my Becker 250 watt mode C transponder installation instructions, it
again reminded me I can now fly to 50,000 feet and supposedly be seen by
ATC.
IfI wish to replace the wimpy 1 stage air cooled
turbocharge on my 914 with something "more capable" to test this
50,000 foot capability (perhaps may need to use long wings, wave and a
carry with me some oxidizer)at what temperature (low temperature) do
I need to start worrying about my Europa airframe that is painted white to
keep the sun from heating it?
I think I remember some mfg.
perhaps it was Slingsby, only has a lower limit of 20F??
Should
I limit my engine off outside loop attemptsto 20F during my first
test flight (wouldn't want to hurt engine by sucking air with it
running)?
There are4questions:
1) What
is a realistic lower temperaturelimit for Europa XS Monowheel with
short wings?
2) Same question as #1 but with long wings?
3) What is a realistic upper altitude limit for Europa XS
Monowheel with short wings? (not pilot but aeroplane)
4) Same
question as #3 but with long wings?
