FROM 0NE TO TWO
HI FOLKS,
ABOUT TWO YRS. AGO I AQUIRED A TELEMASTER SENIOR,9 FT.WINGSPAN ONE PIECE WING.IT WAS WELL USED AND ABUSED. I STRIPPED IT DOWN PATCHED AND REPAIRED IT. MADE IT A BOLT ON WING INSTEAD OF RUBBER BANDS COVERED IT WITH ULTRACOTE ORANGE/BLUE COVERING. ADDED A ZENOAH 20 EI ENGINE, WITH A C-H IGNITION. IT TUNED OUT TERRIFIC AND FLIES GREAT. I USE IT FOR JUST LUMMBERING AROUND THE SKIES ON A LAZY SUMMER DAY WHILE RESTING ON A LAWN CHAIR OR TOWING UP A FEW GLIDERS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT-9 FT.-ONE PIECE-WING!!!!!!!
IT HAS TO GO!!!!! I DECIDED TO RE-DO THE WING AND MAKE IT A TWO PIECE TAKE DOWN WING. RIGHT NOW IT HAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DIHEDRIAL BUILT IN TO THE WING. MY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DIHEDRIAL CAN I TAKE OUT OF THIS WING. CAN I REMOVE IT ALL AND MAKE IT AS FLAT AS A TABLE TOP OR DO I NEED SOME AND APPROX. HOW MUCH?. WILL THE FLYING CHARACTERISTICS CHANGE DRAMATICALLY? WANT TO TAKE OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN, USING -AILERONSRUDDERELEVATOR.
THANK YOU FOR ANY INPUT ON THE AMOUNT OF DIHEDRIAL OR THE CONVERSION OF THE WING

RE: FROM 0NE TO TWO
bigstik, please turn off your cap lock. It depends on if you have ailerons or not. If you have ailerons, take out the dihedral. If rudder only, it needs the dihedral.
