RE: New project?????
I have a set of plans for R. Sweitzer's 1/6 scale 98" DH 89a Dragon Rapide and parts one and two of the articles in Scale RC.
I am looking for cowls and any other parts that were made for it. Does anyone have parts for sale or that can be sent to be reproduced?
If this comes up blank, I will most likely make FG parts myself when it comes time to start this project. But for now I have other projects for this winter's building season, so it may not be started till next winter.
Can anyone supply scale detail info. I can't seem to find profile info on the correct
"RAF-34 modified" airfoil the Dragon used. Apparently they used the RAF-34 airfoil, with different modifications quiet often, on various aircraft; the Lysander for example.
Cliffco: In the articles, George Harlan talks about the stol characteristics of the Dragon. He says it flys off in about 3-4 plane lengths at 16 lbs AUW powered by two K&B .61's. He says 2 good 40's would fly it. I thought a couple of Enya 60 or 80 4-C's would be nice and they would fit inside the cowl.
Does anyone know how to contact George Harlan? I would like to get copies of the scale documentation he used for his Dragon.
