Control Surfaces, How Big?

Where is said event project taking place?

 

[MDPilot]

I'm waiting to hear what happens when an FAA tower controller is asked if an unliscenced, uninspected homebuilt acft can use a runway under his control. First phone call is to the fire dept, second call is to the FSDO, third to airport security.

How can you expect to get an answer in terms of L x W, when you didn't state the size, weight, type, and construction of the airplane in mind?

How about 2ft by 2ft, that ought to work!

Some other questions of my own,

Is a PPL similar to a degree in aeronautical engineering?

Has anyone thought about what kind of airfoil you will use? (or were you just gonna guess on that one?)

Are you all on crack?

The flight itself seems pretty easy to us. We are going to ask the tower to block off the runway and he will take off, climb a few dozen feet and then land back on the runway

Okay, either call the EAA and find out what you really need to do. Or tape the response from the tower when you ask them the above and let us all hear it. Should be amusing.
