I believe that is true and the difference between in the angles of the wing incidence and the horizontal stabilizer incidence is called decalage. (Designer stuff)

Michel,
I don't think you mean AOA, angle of attack. AOA is measure relative to the
air. Hard to measure without the right instruments.
I think you mean angle of incidence? Someone will step in with the right
term..

I didn't really expect Michel to take me seriously, it's just the most
likely thing I could imagine was making the noise he described. I don't
think anyone has confessed to hearing the same noise but the number of
variables in that area is infinite.

Yes, that would help, Dave, thank you. ... but about wing-walking ...

no, thank you, I might catch a cold!

Yes, I am pretty sure it is not the wing and the tank, Lowell. It's

coming from behind.

Ah! I knew there is a difference between the angle of attack and the
|
angle of incidence, Randy. I must have mixed them and you must be
right, thank you.

Thank you, John. I have learnt a new word today. Well, not exactly
|
because 'decalage' is a French word, as in 'décalage horaire' (time
difference) but now I know its meaning in English too!

Yes, and that's the reason I feel the noise needs further
|
investigation, Guy. But to do that, I'll need a passenger so that
someone can turn his head and look or feel behind. The only thing is, I
need a pilot passenger because I don't stall with just anyone. I'll try
to get my son to fly with me on Sunday.
Cheers,
Michel
