RE: Scratch building 105" W/S Super connie L-1049 G
Hi Bruce,
I see your point, now being said that my wing area is 1155 sq/in !!, and current suggested weight of the model is 320oz!!, now these figure are bringing wing loading down to 39.89 oz sq/in which in my books seems to be on high side with Webra 25s as power source!!, but i am not expert by any means on Multi engined models so these figures could be ok, or may be not!.....I have chosen to not to use any bulkheads and ribs in my construction since its foamcore model ( fuselage cores and wing cores) except for diehedrial bracers and spars, i will built engine necelles with 1/8 lite ply for main structure and then add foam around the whole bodies of necelles.
We are only suggesting weight to be max of 22-24lbs fully built, glass and painted airframe, but this could be on higher side also by estimation right now. i haven't seen many models in this range of wing area's as yet, can you point out some for me to look at.....Thanks.
