Hal, Thanks for the reply, I hope you don't regret the answer
In order for the G2 simulator to duplicate the flying characteristics of a plane you need to enter the planes dimensions and characteristics into the simulator so it knows how to apply the physics. There are many parameters. Here is an example of the required parameters and my first attempt at some of them for a SIG 4*60:
Main Wing
Span = 71” Dihedral =2 degrees Wing weight=3.15 lbs Wing cord=13.5 Washout= ?? Wing span = 25 in Wing Weight = Airfoil Type =NACA2414 incidence=2 degrees LE/LE Sweep back=??
Horizontal Tail
Wing Span=25” Wing Weight =.37 lbs Wing Cord=5.5 incidence=0 degrees Location forward=-32” location up=1.4” % of cord=45% deflection right/left=19%
Vertical Tail
Wing Span=7.5” Wing Weight =.24lbs Wing Cord=5.5 incidence=0 degrees Location forward=-33” location up=0” % of cord=46% deflection right/left=25%
Fuse attributes
Length=57” Height=7” Width=3.8 Location forward=14.5 Weight=3.97 Frontal area=21sqin Landing gear-Width-14.5 location forward/Up=4.5/-7.2
Engine Location
Right/Forward/Up=0/14.5/0 Thrust Right/Down=1.15/2 degrees
I was asking if there might be a more accurate method to collect these numbers other than my wobbly tape measure. I'm thinking perhaps the SIG kit plans would be a better place to start from, but I have the ARF wich does not come with bprints. My ideal state is that these already exist somewhere. I discuss with sig and they had very few they could provide. Any ideas?
