Default RE: Fuselage OK?

da Rock,

www.airwayaircraft.webs.com has a picture gallery with more information on the dimensions of the airplane than you will ever need. Here are some, I hope that is sufficient for a statement whether the fuselage is OK:

wing area= 2.719 ft^2
wing chord= 0.6145 ft
wing span= 4.425 ft

horizontal tail area= 0.2156 ft^2
horiontal tail chord= 0.2156 ft
horizontal tail length= 1 ft
horizontal tail volume coefficient= 0.3 (normal for light single engined aircraft according to one of my aerodynamics books)

veritcal tail area (not needed for a judgement but I'll just say it)= 0.5156 ft^2

static margin= 12% (distance between CG and neutral point divided by CG distance aft of the wing quarter-chord)

maneuver point= 13.2%

tail arm= 2.333 ft

Here are some dimensions

Sincerely,

Daniel.
