Default RE: Dalotel Build

SRT,

nice build you've got going here!

Doug,

SRT's Dalo build looks like it will be very similar to our Chippy build in terms of planform and moments. Our model will just be a tad larger.

It looks like the engine will be inverted and setup with the pipe in a similar way to most of Hanno's post Magic designs (and many of the later Japanese classics) in a tunnel under the wing. Well, the Calypso and Supra's were low wing so no tunnel but the same concept. Actually, Hanno's Mystic might be the best "equivalent" in setup. With the Dalo being a pretty square type design (square as in angular), going with a rectangular type tunnel recess in the fuse bottom, Bridi Dalo style, is not a bad option. Of course, e-power (comment tailored to Doug specifically...) would simplify all that. It looks like even the wing/stab airfoils are similar to the ones we'll be using, pronounced LE entrance...

The Dalo is another ideal e-power model! Maybe in a years time when the Chippy's are done...

Following with interest!
