F3A1

I am looking for some help from my modeling friends. I purchased a Z project that was started using the Vern Clements 1/6 scale plan as a basis for the overall outline and dimensions. We have imported the plan and the airframe into CAD to verify uniformity to the original. My current concern is the M6 airfoil at 75%. I want to check the wing at this stage not latter. I could sure use some help from the airfoil/CAD experts here!

I also would like to thank those on RCU which I have contacted via PMs and emails for their input of the original Z construction. Two of the photos have been priceless. Feel free to critique, and if anyone else has info on the original I could always use the photos or drawings.

Thanks,
Lex

I am obviously not the best with computers or posting photos. Now I will try to get the wing photo!


Thanks again,

Here's a plot of an m6 airfoil. What do you want to know? Dan

Dan,

Thanks, I have found the M6 full depth and 65% as it is on the R1 and R2, but have not found the 75% that the Z has. I need to be able to plot it for a 50.4" cord at the root of the outer panel. I am unsure how to do this.

I read somewhere that Kermit Weeks is building a true replica, but is re-designing the wing to avoid structural failure like the original one had.

Lex,
Are you still looking for the 75% M6 airfoil? I believe i have it on profili and can provide a vector for it. Im currently working on a 1/4 r2 and debating on using the m6 airfoil or not

A BIG THANK YOU goes to Thomas (invertmast).

I just received an email with the 100 upper and lower plots for the M6 at 75%!

jkpape,
Kermit Weeks is not rebuilding wings for his Z. The Eicher/Kimball product is outstanding. The wing did have extensive testing for flutter and aileron counter weights were designed and built. I do not feel a more accurate replica could be built, and be a regular flyer on paved runways. The entire staff at Fantasy of Flight has been very kind and helpful to me.

Thanks,

Lex

Lex,

I wish you the best of luck with your project. I would love to build a Gee Bee replica. But, I have a hard enough time finding the time to keep my factory built planes flying.
