Default RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

These are the readings of the C III shown in our European usual units of measurement

TWA =Total Wings Area ( without stabilizer area) dmq. 111,9

WTWA=“Working” Total Wings Area (without stabilizer area) = 80% of above (*) dmq. 89,5

Weight Kg. 5800

SW/TWA Ratio g./dmq 51,8
SW/WTWA Ratio g./dmq 64,8

(*) coefficient which takes into account the interaction between the two wings of a biplane



A lot more difficult for me is to convert the readings in oz., sq. feets, sq.inch. and so on


TWA =Total Wings Area ( without stabilizer area) sq.ft. 12,04

WTWA=“Working” Total Wings Area (without stabilizer area) = 80% of above sq.ft. 9,63

Weight oz. 204,5

SW/TWA Ratio oz./sq.ft. 16,98
SW/WTWA Ratio oz./sq.ft. 21,23
