Ziroli Corsair Question
Ken
Thanks for replying. After looking at the plans again, and looking at the photos of Jeff's 13 ft enlarged Ziroli Corsair, I have somewhat of a better understanding of what is going to be required here.
It looks like the flap ribs need to be installed parallel to each other on the ends of each flap to work without binding. The hinged ribs at W5 are going to have to be at different angles to each other, again so they don't bind. There has to be a flap hinge at the ends of each flap in the center section of the wing.
My plane also has a three piece wing, I planned on hinging the outboard flap on each end. This plane was built with the outboard wings made from sheeted foam. I plan on cutting out the flap and gluing a hinge into the wing with epoxy. Should be interesting.
Sure would like to see some more detailed photos of the flaps, though.
Once again, thanks
Bill
