Default RE: Skylab wing dimensions?

Hi Kris,

Here is a few details off the Skylab box,

"The wings have 3 degrees negative rake vee design"
Wingspan 1660 mm
Wing Profile NACA 0015

The plan only shows one wing panel and a couple inches of the other. The trailing edges are in a straight line with each other. On the plan the trailing edge is not swept back. The pictures on the box certainly look like the wing is a little swept back! The leading edge tappers 4 inches. The root chord is 12" and the tip is 8".

Shown on plan the anhedral {Unterlange fuer Endrippe} is exactly 2 cm or about 3/4 inch at the tip.

Unfortunately my kit is missing the instructions. Maybe I can get a copy from Hegi.

Mike
