Default RE: Curare build

Wow all,

thanks for all the replies....

I was already thinking about doing a set of formers and sheeting the top turtle deck as well. Doing a foam turtle deck is a great ideal. Looking at the plans - you can draw a line from the canopy floor to the back of the fin LE which would be the bottom line of the turtle deck. I was looking at that 1" triangle stock that that the plan indicates and the taper you have to create towards the tail would/will be fairly time consuming.

I was also thinking of doing a built up 2 piece wing with laser cut ribs.

What are the differences between the MK plans and the MAN plans ?? From some of the pictures of the MK Curare - it does look like the turtle deck is sheeted wood over formers - is that right??

Does anyone have a set of MK plans I could get a copy of ??

Lots of great ideals. Please keep them coming.

I haven't cut any wood yet : )

cheers!
