Default RE: Dan Palmer B-24 plan question



thanks iron eagle, what you described is exactly how I was going to proceed. Someone once told me there is nothing made of wood that can't be fixed, so as soon as I finish my current project I'm going to start this B-24. I’ll be studying the plans for quite a while, then I’ll cut it myself.

Having built all my rc from kits, and only static from plans.Before the build I was going to study a set of Ziroli D-18 plans and see how he does things, mostly wing connections, elevator and rudder assembly/control.

Attached is my most recent static build (50%, stage prop just before it was finished) – built from blow up 8 1/2”x11” plans from RC Universe.I’ll probably be posting more pre-build questions once I start digging into wing/stab incidence.I also want to ask just how much lightening I can do to the airframe, is it unrealistic that I can build a B-24 into an easy flying, lazy big fat bomber?Wing loading 35oz/ft^2?
Thanks
