Default RE: car/plane

heres the basic designe of what im thinking of. the (though this probaly wont make sence to you your plane buddy will get it) wing chord is 13" the wing height is 1.125" i did not use a NACA airfoil, i made it so i dont no the NACA number sorry... the wing length is 7' even

the carbon is the green lines the car is the yellow lines. the whole wing is heat cut from light density foam core and is sheeted 1/16 light balsa (when you sheed it DO NOT USE CA! it will ment tle foam and the wings will shatter in flight)

your best bet for power, in my oppioon is probably gonna be any of .70 ish engines tower sells... im sure your friend will have no problems tuning them so i dont see that as an issue... i have a mangum 1.08 and i love it to death... turns a 17" 3 blade on my corsair :-D gotta have it be scale now dont we


I did it because it hasent been done before. Really no perpous to it but it shure was fun.

one of you guysshould take a plane and strap a boat to the bottom.
