RE: Wing profiles
Yup, so I have my wing all done except for the wingtips, I have gone for a foam core with balsa spar lined with carbon rovings and a section in the centre of carbon weave. It has come up a little heavy but still within limits for me. I think some of the wieght is in the undercarriage blocks though since the legs are mounted to the wing not the fuse.
Speaking of fuse I had the plug about half built when I was speaking to a guy at a show who put me onto a place locally that I can get blue foam (kinda hard to find here in Aus) so I have decided to ditch the current plug and start again, hopefully I will grab the foam this saturday.
One part which caused a pause in the process was a change in the rules from 80" minimum wingspan to 35%. Since the Rivets was going to be 40% to make it a bit over 80" I had to wait and see if the new rules were going to be implemented or not. This has happened for all but one race venue which I think will have to either fall into line eventually or fall off the radar. I will try and get a few pics up soon.
I do need to really start pulling my finger out though as it needs to be ready to race by April.
