Hi all. This is my first time posting to this site as a memmber. I have been reading many posts as a guest, but figured it was time to join and post whenever i can. I have been flying 1/2a CL for almost a year now, mainly a Sig Skyray that has been crash, repaired and modified many times. I want to get into some built up wing designs and something with a bit more manuverability and response. I have been trying lately to CAD up my own design but dont really know where to go as far as overall wing size and other dimensions. Any 1/2a plans or ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has some plans they want CAD'ed up let me know, i'll give it a shot.
Thanks
Welcome to you then! There is a great bunch of insane misfits on this forum that will goad you into many misadventures in your modelling career.
I'd start with a simple sport model using a bunch of straight lines. Why not base a model on the Sig Skyray? A nice built up wing will enhance performance a lot. If I mentally figger correctly, you'll want to start at about 90-100 squares for zippy flying, more area and increased moments for more lift, lighter wing loading and heading towards the smoother stunt regime of flying.
Do you have airfoil resources? If not lemme know via PM, I have Compufoil and can generate a .dxf of what you want in moments.
