Well, I can understand you liking them big Fred, after all you're not exactly a "little" fellow yourself , are you :lol:
But to be serious for a moment, (for a moment is about as long as I can be serious for
) I think this is a very interesting project. I've spent ages searching the net for my birthday present and I can't find any company supplying what I want :!:
As I said to you at the car park Fred, what I would be very happy to buy is a model with say,..... 2.5mtr span, good penetration, full house wing, reasonably acrobatic, and of wooden construction.
From experience I've found wooden covered foam wings are very strong, (they must be to withstand my crashings) and a "box" section fuse is both easy to build and to repair.
I notice in your drawings you're thinking of a V tail. Personaly I'd like to be able to do Stall Turns, is that poss with a V tail??? :?: I also wonder how well a removable nose cone would protect the battery and servos in the event of one of my ,.......... :?: mmm, how can I put this delicately, "Unconventional Landings" :oops:
As for the wing profile, I don't understand enough of these matters yet, (may be I'm too young) but one with large control surfaces would be best I think?
So,.....I shall be watching this thread with great interest and anticipation
Carry on the good work Fred!
