Handlaunch a Thermic 36?
Rummaging around in my files today, I found some old plans for a Jetco Thermic 36. Wow! does this bring back memories!
Got to thinking----I wonder what it would take to make a handlaunch out of it. I certainly would have something that is unique!
The tail seems it might need a little more area. The airfoil is only 1/4" thick, but as a R/E it should be ok. If a different airfoil would help, which one to use and keep the "vintage" look?
Anyone have thoughts about what to consider? Techniques? Materials? Modifications?
