G'day all
N00b alert and first post.
I've just restarted building gliders after over a decade away. Before launching back into some serious ($'s + performance) models, I've got a couple of simpler/cheaper versions to get my skills back up to scratch.
I'm about to embark on a BangGood Sunbird 2.0 (looks remarkably like the former Hobbyking Sunbird).
It has a few build options: rudder, elevator, ailerons and motor. The plans are for a single 'straight' wing, no dihederal. Now the questions...
I'm thinking to build it with all the options (incl the aileron servos in the wing) and just start initially fly it as RET. Assuming there's nothing I'm missing in that besides the obvious weight disadvantage?
I'd like to build some dihederal into the wing tip joint. Maybe 10 degrees or so. I've done it on smaller wings (although that was in the 'stock' plans). I'd make up the correct angled 'splints'. Also angle the appropriate ribs. Maybe using a jig against rib while the glue sets.
Thoughts, comments, criticisms appreciated.
