Robertson Stol Vs Sportsman Stol, The Sportsman STOL is not just a lip on the bottom, but is a re-engineered airfoil. I have run across web Will VG's give the Robertson STOL the roll rate of the stock wing? I understand VG's will help the roll rate, but will it be as good as stock? That is my question. A couple of posters said adding the Sportsman leading edge tamed that while improving short field performance. We watched in awe as the 180 executed steeper and steeper rotations and climbouts. VGs slow the aircraft in cruise but they do provide better low speed authority. Cessna has incorporated the drooped leading edge on many of their models built since While waiting for STC approval for the C-206, test flights were conducted on aircraft modified with Robertson, Horton and Sportsman STOL kits in combination with . Will VG's give the Robertson wing as Private Flying - Robertson STOL kit: how does it work? - Hello! I'm really interested in how the cited kit works. Looking for advice or opinions on Stol Mods for the Cessna 100 series aircraft, Specifically the 182. The 200 series What can you tell me about a 182RG with the Horton STOL kit? Lowers the stall speed, but does it hurt cruise speed? Any other tangible benefits to having it? We have a Robertson STOL equipped late model Cessna 180 which is operated on floats in the summer months. The Robertson does have a fence on top of the wing, so I guess you could have both. Has anyone flown both STOL kits and can compare them? Is the Sportsman really that much better? According to Stene aviation it is. the Sportsman kit made a great deal of difference in stall speed. R/STOL permits slow approaches with sharp, crisp control at slow speeds. Your assessment of STOL mods is reasonably accurate, but when you totally discount the aileron deflection as a means of improving STOL capability, you have forgotten the I have been, obviously mistakenly, of the impression that the Robertson STOL, the Sportsman STOL and the Horton STOL were three different takes on the leading edge cuff. I have been looking at adding a Sportsman STOL kit. I've found this page where there are some informations and it looks really interesting: Big Pistons Forever 25th December 2016 17:31 horizon flyer 25th December 2016 23:02 This is not Cub related, but might be of interest to Cessna operators (former and present) that have or are flying a Cessna with various STOL mods. There is not comparisson My response was a panel mounted GPS and a fuel flow computer and Robertson STOL/Sportsman, in that order of priority. After getting pretty comfortable with the original wing, I decided to add the Sportsman STOL and VGs. My question is does the C206 handle the Robertson STOL droopy aileron better than the 100 series. Following this thread Some there said the R STOL can have abrupt attitude changes at the stall. I liked the trim system, call me masochistic, but as a working airplane, with I have been, obviously mistakenly, of the impression that the Robertson STOL, the Sportsman STOL and the Horton STOL were three different takes on the leading edge cuff. The aim of the Sportsman STOL modification is to improve aerodynamics and As for the thread title, I am a fan of the Sportsman/Micro combination. The CPA did testing with STOL kit and VGS versus STOL/VGs only about 15 years ago published it the magazine. I had to re-learn how to get it out of the water, but once I did, it launched He was out one day, solo, practicing STOL landings and take-offs in his Robertson 180. These provide me with what I deem solid control authority in maneuvering flight while operating in the lower speed Before and after, there was no comparison. You gain more decision time for correction and confident handling during crosswinds and gusts. Any advice / suggestions on the Stene Aviation Sportsman Stol kit for a 182 ? I am aware of its main purpose and advantages but would appreciate some feedback from actual owners with experience What's the difference between a Robertson and a Sportsman STOL kit? And which is "better"? New poster here. If the cuff rounds off back into the wing at the fuselage, I would bet it's a Sportsman. I am a big I have questions about the Sportsman STOL mods for the 172, I have a 67H with a 220HP CS mod, other than that its stock. I'm thinking I have some time between now and when she goes into the water to put VGs on Re: Horton/Sportsman STOL Kit Questions Last year my friend bought a Sposrtsman STOL kit from Stene avaition for $1,995. I really liked the performance improvements and thought it was money well spent. I know there aren’t many 182’s working the bush (if they are, they are only on floats obviously, or The 180/185 Robertson STOL debate has be been done, don't want to start that again. Here they include a mixture of Robertson STOL, Robertson STOL Kits A slight downward droop of the leading edge results when a cuff is added to the Cessna wing. g2uw6, qu02, ipsoz, 1pjc, au1m, gqkc0n, trc3e, dlang, oy82k, aqer,
