ORIGINAL: draftman1

it is listed in the materials list that 1 sheet of corro is used. I cannot figure out how the wing panels and the fusalog could be cut out of one sheet. to me it just doesnt work out. I must be missing something???


I never have much luck trying to save coro, and most all the 4mil I use is free.
So I tend to build RNAF style wings.

All My 2mil; I bought 24x48 and add panels of 2mil to extend the Span, but I'm limited to 13.5" cord including the ailerons.

I'm sure there is a method to the madness, some where.
Good luck.
Jeff

Status: offline 		the plane flies really nice, I havnt weighed it but it seems a little heavy. I have a os 61 fx in it right now, maybe the new 75ax or the 91 fx would really waken this up. I am building a second plane and I have found a couple of places to shave some weight and I am able to move the electonics forward more, it came out a little tail heavy. I am gona use 2 mil on the turtle deck and bottom, the tailfeathers are 3 layers of 2 mil. the 3 layers might be a shade ligter than the 2 layers of 4 mil, maybe not. and I did the RNAF wing on it. I should have it up this sunday. I am gona go out to the shop and glue the fus to the wood infrastructure in a few min. I sure get alot of surprised looks at the field when I tell the guys its coroplast. we have about 4 or 5 spadders in the club. I will post picts of corostar #2 when its done, thank you for the nice design, I sure have enjoyed it

Status: offline 		Probably, although it is going to be heavy. You may have to slide the wing around to achieve CG, so don't cut your wing saddles until you have determined where that will be.
