RE: Designing a new pattern model
The wing is 212mm wide at the tip (measured at the tip of the aileron) and 460mm at the root (measured along the side of the fuselage), which gives a ratio of 2.16.
I think 3:1 would probably be too much.
The weight of the fuselage including the rudder, canopy and cowling is 1250g. I know it's probably on the heavy side, but it's the best i could do with regular balsa sheets. The canopy and cowling are a little bit heavier than i expected (110 and 115g ) but i'm going to use them anyway. Since it's my first 2m model, i have no idea about the final weight at this stage. There are a lot of experienced builders here, so i'm looking forward to hear your opinions about this.
