RE: Postal Plane Project
Ok guys, here's my first thought. Since I want a plane flyable by the masses let's go for simple, rugged, easy to fly. Just a sketch so I still have to add detail.
High wing, Rudder / Elevator only, simple box fuse. It uses a Jedelsky type airfoil for easy construction of the wing and is resistant to damage. Rubber band wing hold down, and a basic Cox 049 engine.
Span 28" Area 165 squares, Aspect 4.8, MAC 6", Dihedral 5 degrees
Length 26" Total Estimated AUW 11.5 oz.
Wing Loading 9.6 oz
Alright all you aerodynamicists, critiques?
