Default RE: Skylab wing dimensions?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the information. The website also mentioned the 3° anhedral. Now that I know the wing chords, I will make some sketches and see how that looks like. The friend from whom I bought the fuselage cut a foam wing ( TLAR span, chord, sweep, etc) as he lost the plan and the wing when his house burnt down a couple of years ago. The plane still flew well, but I want to do it exactly as the original. A foam wing will be the way to go, I think.

I agree : although the trailing edges are in line with each other in top view, the anhedral gives an impression of sweepback looking 3/4 from between the tail and wing.

Thanks for the efforts!

Best regards,

Kris
