HI FOLKS,
ABOUT TWO YRS. AGO I AQUIRED A TELEMASTER SENIOR,9 FT.WINGSPAN ONE PIECE WING.IT WAS WELL USED AND ABUSED. I STRIPPED IT DOWN PATCHED AND REPAIRED IT. MADE IT A BOLT ON WING INSTEAD OF RUBBER BANDS COVERED IT WITH ULTRACOTE ORANGE/BLUE COVERING. ADDED A ZENOAH 20 EI ENGINE, WITH A C-H IGNITION. IT TUNED OUT TERRIFIC AND FLIES GREAT. I USE IT FOR JUST LUMMBERING AROUND THE SKIES ON A LAZY SUMMER DAY WHILE RESTING ON A LAWN CHAIR OR TOWING UP A FEW GLIDERS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT-9 FT.-ONE PIECE-WING!!!!!!!
IT HAS TO GO!!!!! I DECIDED TO RE-DO THE WING AND MAKE IT A TWO PIECE TAKE DOWN WING. RIGHT NOW IT HAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DIHEDRIAL BUILT IN TO THE WING. MY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DIHEDRIAL CAN I TAKE OUT OF THIS WING. CAN I REMOVE IT ALL AND MAKE IT AS FLAT AS A TABLE TOP OR DO I NEED SOME AND APPROX. HOW MUCH?. WILL THE FLYING CHARACTERISTICS CHANGE DRAMATICALLY? WANT TO TAKE OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN, USING -AILERONSRUDDERELEVATOR.
THANK YOU FOR ANY INPUT ON THE AMOUNT OF DIHEDRIAL OR THE CONVERSION OF THE WING
