Want to know how that new plane will handle? Thanks to Gray Beard for sending this chart. It makes calculating your wing loading as easy as drawing a straight line!
Nice chart! Thank you for that!
And what timing, I was doing this just today actually, because I'm cutting my wings down to 24" each side. Yes, for a better scale outline.
OK, thing is this, and has been an ongoing question.
"Do you consider the "area" that's the fuselage?"
On some models, Jets especially, this can be considerable!
Here's a "chunky," just to show an example.
I have 8" of fuselage eating up my wing area! Actual scale would be 9".
Span, 48"
Root cord, 11.5"
Tip cord, 7.75
Fuselage thickness, 8"
I figured my Sq's out and I'll bet I'm wrong. Those four measurements will give you my wing area.
I could use the help, so what do you get?
Thanks in advance.
