Default RE: treiner jets

As promised, time to show some pics. After hand drawing the full size plans in brown paper, and printing the wing and stab section using the Winfoil software, we started to glue some balsa. The fuse sides are 1/4 inch balsa with a 3/16 balsa doubler from the wing tube location thru the tail section. The formers are 3 mm plywood unless the nose gear support that is 10mm . The crooked formers have 2 functions , to improve the tail rigidity and to anchor the turbine support plate. The overall lenght of the plane is 2 meters, has about 950 sq.in. of wing area and the projected dry weight is about 15 lbs.
