OOOOOHHHHHH Very large Wilga, advice.
Hi
In a very week moment, i bought a very big Wilga, its build with ply ribs anf formers and covered with thin mahogny, the only thing left too build from wood is ailerons, flaps and wingtips, this build started in Denmark many years ago, and have 2-3 owners before me in Norway, i am going too make it flyable, but i have too go the budget way ( no Moki ) i doo need some advice:
This is build from downsized original fullsize plans, there is no hardpoints under the wing skinfor the hinges for ailerons and flaps, can i cut slots and fasten them in the wingribs?
Do someone know how the ailerons and flaps should look like, and how they are hinged on the fullsize?
What engine too choose?
The wings has hardwood main spar that continues into the top cabin, but how should i lock them in place? (too thight fit for the moment)
Covering, fiberglass and resin?
The model is 10 kg and has a 5 meter wingspan, final weight mayby as low as 25kg.
All comments are welcome...........

There are links to a couple of three views that show the size of the ailerons and flaps at [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10022910/anchors_10022910/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#10022910]here.[/link]
