Just a general Q i ahve for anyone wanting to answere with a .46 sized glow what size wings would you make? im thinking about 56" plus the width of the fuse this would or am i better going with a larger wing lets say 60 inch then the play will fly slower?
Look at some of the 46size trainers and use those planform measurements. Whatever is going to work on you model airplane after the exhibit is over.
whats the stall speed considering wingloading wtih these airfoils???
Jeez, now you're asking an almost impossible to answer question. Stall speed actually depends on lots of things that're just as important as loading. You need to read that Andy Lennon book at least once.
i must stay above that speed..... and of course what wing cord would be ideal?
The ideal chord would depend on your airplane's needs. If you pick a span that works for you, then the chord will be easy to come up with simply. Designers usually have in mind the area they're going to need. The often figure the span based on how big the back seat of their car is or the back of their minivan or whatever. Then they work out the chord from the span and area.
But they also consider the planned use of the airplane model. A racer won't have much wing. An aerobatic won't have the smallest wing, but not a huge one either....... see the situation.
BTW, when you do any posters or charts for your project, work at spelling the terms correctly. Diamond Chord etc It's supposed to be a learning experience, right.
