RE: Space Shuttle Depron RC Model - Scratch..
Hi Guys!
Today, I was not feeling 100% so, I stayed home and right about late in the afternoon all rested and energized I went right into the Space Shuttle Project.
First, I took out my notes from what I disucssed with Mark (co-worker, real pilot and Flight Crew Engineer Member) about the Airfoil top location, slope and other technical data about Wing Airfoil.
For a scale off of 26 inch wing span the top (highest point) should be a little more than one (1) inch but, I really did not want to create too much drag so, I decided to use no more than 3/4 of an inch as the highest point where the top wing assemblies would rest and this highest point is a few inches behind the Center of Gravity mark.
Okay, here is a few pictures showing the progress and I am happy to announce that it is looking like the Space Shuttle.
