Strankon -> Foam fuse bipe plans? (3/30/2008 6:16:19 PM)

Hi all,
I'm looking for plans to build a foam core fuse bi-plane around an OS 160FX.
Anyone have any suggestions?



mrbigg -> RE: Foam fuse bipe plans? (3/30/2008 9:53:25 PM)

Build OMP's Ultimate and strap the OS to it. Might be a little too much for it though. But then again, a little too much is usually just right.[:D]

OPM's ultimate would be great if I could scale it up to around 72"
I'm also concidering 3DFOAMY's Pitts, scaled up of course, with airfoiled wings

If you could find a copy of a Weeks Solution....and do it with a foam fuse. That would be different.

You can buy plans for the Miles Reed models, Weeks Special, Solution, Solution X and XX from Dave Dessecker. He sells everything from plans to full kits. PM me with your email address and I can send you a pdf of the last brochure I have from Dave, or email him direct:

72" would be too much. The 80" profiles with a single wing are just right with the 1.60fx. A bipe always requires more power because of the extra drag. Two 72" wings equal a 144" single wing.

I'd say a bipe around 65-70 inches would be the biggest you would go for the OS 160 size model.

mmattockx:
Please E-mail Dave's brochure to Strankon@aol.com
THANKS!



mmattockx -> RE: Foam fuse bipe plans? (4/2/2008 5:52:12 AM)

Done.

Strankon -> RE: Foam fuse bipe plans? (4/2/2008 10:01:05 PM)

Thanks Mark

Well I've done some approximate calculations, based on 3D FOAMY'S Pitts scaled up 200%

Profile fuse, including rudder cord = 61"

Top wing with semetrical airfoil = 69 1/2"

bottom wing with semetrical airfoil = 66"

wing cord = 11" - 12"

would this be too big for a 160fx?

You basically have the same specs as this plane- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKJB5&P=0
There is a big thread on that plane that you can check out. A 50cc gasser is the engine of choice. If you can build it light you might have a winner.



Strankon -> RE: Foam fuse bipe plans? (4/20/2008 3:00:56 AM)

I think I can bring it in between 10 and 11 lbs. by putting lightening holes thruoghout the fuse without sacrificing
structural integrity. perhaps???

Just need to be careful with CG



mrbigg -> RE: Foam fuse bipe plans? (4/24/2008 1:59:31 PM)

Good luck!



wessco -> RE: Foam fuse bipe plans? (4/24/2008 8:31:00 PM)

IF....you can keep it at 10 or 11 lbs.....the 1.60 would be fine on it!
