Default RE: Brushfire Information Request

Good thread David!

I have been redesigning the Brushfire in CAD as I'm also interested in the idea of building one specifically for the new brutes freshly on the market.

It is a big bird (Aurora caliber) but the fuse design is such that it could be built quite lightly through re-design. It is designed around the concept of a flat bottom fuse and roller coaster top line. I'm considering going with a plugin wing design approach as it has a pretty fat wing at the root and the position is just under the thrust line. The stab is positioned smack on the thrust just like the Tipos. No anhedral here of course.

The flat wing & stab tips complement the flat fuse bottom and the sweep of surfaces look nice with the wavy top.

There is some interesting info from the designer himself on a thread of mine. Look up Webra 12 here on RCU.
