Have we tried to do a collaborative effort in designing and building a pattern plane? With all the brilliant minds in RCU, I think we can design a very nice pattern plane that is really owned by everyone. We can upload and download DXF files in sharebigfile.com while we go along and hopefully end up with a brilliant design by next summer. Of course everyone is invited to participate but here are the rules.
1. It must fit the current FAI rules for dimensions and weight.
2. It must be a "roach" all wood and/or foam wings.
3. Please be constructive.
The initial DXF file is uploaded here and I have attached the drawing of it.
