Hi All,

Im new to this Fourm and wondered if someone can help?

I am starting my first glider build and basing the plans on the Centurion from Areofred.

This is a 1972 plan which I plan to modernize and install Ailerons and possibly flaps if beneficial.

To Modernize this, im going to design Ailerons, Flaps, convert tail to V tail, redesign the body and hopefully improve the shape of the wing.

So the wing I was going to use 2 carbon fiber arrows for the spar and maybe get some small carbon fiber tubes for the leading edge instead of balsa.

At 16grams per arrow, I think this would reduce the weight and stiffen up the wing.

Would anyone else recommend any improvements for the wings to get higher efficiency?

What about curved up wing tips at the end and maybe extending the overall length?

Any input would be great.

Thanks
