Default RE: Insight

I now have the plans completed, which comprise of 2 large sheets (34"x80" & 34"x60" ). They look good and provide all parts, formers, foam templates, and a couple isometric views of some of the sub-assemblies. I have compiled some notes from the build that I would like to also include, just as a reference....I'm working on cleaning it up into a word document that is twenty-some pages so far... I am also still working on pricing for having all the foam cores cnc cut using the cad file templates. I would like to be able to provide a nice set of plans and allow the builder to decide if he/she would like to buy the cores directly from the cnc cutter...hopefully, I can get someone to provide all the cores at a reasonable price for all of you.

Plans and notes rolled in a tube within the US $40

I have to now admit to the world my own lack of building skills. It seems that we have found some extra dihedral built into my wing panels (about 1/2" at each tip in the top surface of the wing). Not sure yet how I let this happen...still searching. This would explain the slight proverse roll that I have mixed out in knife edge. However, to prove that theory, new wings must be built. I had planned to build another Insight at some point using the new plans with a slightly lower belly, so I guess now is a good time to start. To experiment with the one that is now flying, I will be adding a bit more to the rudder counterbalance and flight test as soon as time allows me to do so. If it works, great, if not, I can live with the minor amont of programmed mix....besides, my sequence flying is starting to show I'm getting very comfortable with the plane. I hope to post some video in the next week or two.
