Not using any scale of a specific model as such. will have full pictures and details up as soon as i get a chance.
for now though, subscribe.
So very similar ;D :banghead:
Lol :D
Correct me if wrong. I think control surfaces are oversized... :headscratch:
Utkarsh,
Right, but forget that.
See what docnayeem found!
I think Mike only posted a pic of the model he proposes to build! ;)
:giggle: :giggle: Agree to it sir.
:rofl: Docnayeem is a Detective worthy of praise and appreciation. :hatsoff:
But well as much as I would like to only dream of building this plane, it is not the case, hard to believe :giggle: but Teamnamibia and Shapumba Nauta actually happen to be one and the same person.
What is the recommended sizing for control surfaces in Comparison to wing? or stabilizers? or are they too big based on experience and intuition (did not really calculate anything much for this plane so please assist me)
Wow! Fantastic! :salute:
Well not a detective at all... Like to browse through all scratch builds.... Helps me &
teamnamebia / shapumba nasta those are unique handles
Reminds me of 'phunkshuk wangdu' if u have heard that name before :)
About your control surfaces....
Your tail moment arm seems small so large control surfaces are definitely required...
Just keep the wing area / H-stab/V-stab in proportion...
All the best
@teamnamibia: the horizontal stab should be around 25%-35% of wing area. Vertical stab 50%-60% of horizontal stab. Now comes the control surfaces. So, please mention a few details of your model like wingspan, fuse length, wing loading, AUW estimated or approx., size of both stabs to get an accurate answer.
:hatsoff:
My local supplier of Coroplast has not recieved a proper piece to date, that is why the build is taking so long as i have decided to build the wing out of Coroplast, but i will upload a few more pics from Different angles so that you guys see how the plane looks like. this will be my first foam curved build so i am taking care to make it look as eye catching as possible.
Went to the carpententer to get myself airfoil ribs cut out of plywood, will use this when cutting the Foam ribs out of packaging foam(with a hot wire cutter) and further covering with coroplast. decided to go for the Y Clark Airfoil, simple and easy to cut.
