PT-40 Wing modification with Flaps
This is my first posting,
I used to have a PT-40 that i flew for two years and then destroyed its wings (it was my first plane). Moved on to another trainer temporarily after not flying for 2 years (it is the Easy Fly 40). It is getting my confidence back to fly my scratch built Cloud Dancer 40. Soon ... really soon i will fly it.
As for the PT-40 i did by a wing kit for it, but i would like to do some modifications to it. I want to add some flaps and increase the aileron effect. Also i was told by a friend not to completely remove the Dihedral Angle (I did start with B Dihedral .. the lower of the two options).
My idea is to add flaps that are 1/8 of wing span on each side and are 1/8 of chord wide. As for the ailerons, I thought of making them 1/4 of wing span on the ends and 1/4 of chord for width.
Th problem is that the aileron will stick out of the wing profile, and i don't wont to change the ribs of the wing to accommodate for the 1/4 of chord width of ailerons.
Does any one have an input on that?
Thanks
