2m Wing building PLZ HELP! :)
Hi there
Im converting a old plane of mine with a 1.25m wingspan to a 2m wingspan to give it more lift so i can glide and put more stuff init how would i go about building a 2m wing ( ANY TIPS ON THE AVLARONS ON THE WING WOULD BE GOOD COS I HAVENT GOT A CLUE HOW TO DO THEM! lol
) i have balsa , ply , foam and fiberglassing supplys and ide like it to stay quite cheap!
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks again
Jonjoe

there is more involved than just a larger wing.if you make the wing larger then you reduce the relative porportions of both the stab and rudder.if the area is reduced below say about 18 % of the wing area for the stab the plane becomes unstable .same goes for the fin.then there are control surface porportions to deal with
