Ummmmm no - not yet - my radio won't do "crow" - but I am working on a solution! (right Chris? )
[/QUOTE]


(ok. total newbie with a thought)
Crow Idea...
-split flaps in half on each side of wing
-install controll horns on each half and set each side up
like a one servo aileron wing would be
-Ycord the two flap servos...Crow, right?

I'm thinking of trying this on a Deb wing so someone please tell me if I am making a huge oversight or something here.

I have a sneaking hunch that[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=4] there are dozens of us that are trying to wait patiently to see the plans[/SIZE] .[/COLOR]
Just a bill of materials for the corro sizes and how to have it cut for shipping would be nice.

Status: offline 		I would scale it down a bit...........maybe with a 65 - 70 inch wingspan. I think a .60 would fly mine - but barely! The Ryobi setup weighs 5 pounds (mount, firewall, prop adapter and all).....so with a .60 - you might have a hard time getting the CG to come in.

Status: offline 		I made a new flat tail made from two layers of Coroplast. I still haven't had a chance to fly it - but hopefully this Friday I'll get her back in the air. I am very optimistic that the new tail will work fine.

BTW - the plans are still very much "work in progress" - just running behind!

How tall are you? Trying to figure out what the wingspan is on that plane.

I ended up (till 2AM last night) making a smaller version. I looked at the Tower .40 and .20 and made an educated decision on a .60 size (since it is hanging out waiting for my 4*60 to be built...[URL=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/tm.asp?m=981037]long story[/URL] )
Anyway, I whipped up a 6' wing last night and today I should be able to finish the rest and get her ready for Wed or Thursday.

I'll post some pictures once I get my camera workign right....

I've built about 7 SpadSticks now of various sizes and wing locations (high wing and low wing). To scale it up and down I made this spreadsheet:

[URL]http://www.rcsites.net/qcoldir/spadstick.xls[/URL]

Right click on that link and select SAVE.

It has worked well. I made them as small as 40 inch span and up, over 50 inches.

Here's a small, 40 inch high wing:



And a 50 inch low wing:

Status: offline 		You guys cut Kraut some slack, and i mean now. Keep in mind he works a full time job rebuilding jet engines for the US military, has a wife, and a family, and has day to day responsibilities like the rest of us.
I will assure you that Kraut is working as hard as he can getting the plans done.
