Default RE: Going CL with tis R/C model

Jim,

I'm thinking a tube in a tube.

One tube, the inner one that sits from LE to TE could be about three inches long and made of aluminum. Designed to be removed, just for looks when not in use. Could fasten to hard spots built into the wing. Simple hollow supports can control the distance this tube sits from the wing. A tad longer support, near the trailing edge or rib taper, would allow the inner tube to sit level and provide height adjustments. Ie., just change the length of the supports.

A "snug fit" or "slider" tube, possibly .675" long, with a ring welded on top, for lines obviously, would do nicly. Holes drilled and spaced for adjustment fore and aft on both the "slider" and the inner tube. Clevis could do the trick or it could be bolted in place. Choose the whole necessary.

I believe I've described this gismo quite well.

If you want to pritty it up a bit, tapered heads/ends, like bullets, can be filed on the inner tube front and rear.

I believe a .25" solid inner tube would be fine. Possibly .375" thick max. for this size and weight model.

Wingspan is only 55"

This gismo could work. Could use a name.
