Phoenix scanner rebuild. Using (Seagull models)Cee-Bee wing
Hi all
Ive got a Phoenix models Scanner. which i unfortunatley crashed a few weeks ago. lucky for me the fuszz was not damaged but the wings were totally shatered (it spiraled streight down into the ground, here there just happened to be a branch which hit both sides of the and and the fuzz when't sreight trough the space in the middle with just the alluminium nose cone below the soil. lucky and weired hey?).
anyways my friend gave me the wing from his Seagull Models Cee-bee (i think thats how its spelt ). now im working on fitting the Cee-bee wing to the Scanner. i have to cut away part of the wing for it to fit. any ideas on how it will fly?
i am not modifiying the wing saddle in any sort of way. just the wing.
the only things im changing on the scanner:
*3D size elevators and rudder
*custom fiberglass or carbon fiber cowling
*elevator and rudder servos mounted in tail
* tail dragger undercarrage
* side mounted engine (Super Tigre G51 Ring)
I am planning to change the alerons on the Cee-bee wing, im gonna make them bigger (3D size)
anybody got any ideas how far the main spar should be from the CG. got any tips? please comment.
thanks

Kit bashing is awful fun, ain't it? The main spar is usually where the CG is to be found, or at least very close to it. Good luck!
