DC-10 Gets a new Wing
I am building a new, larger wing for the UPS
DC-10. The new owner has been flying off
of grass and after slightly damaging the old
wing, he ask me to make a new larger one
with flaps ect.
Click here for pics of a small foam park flyer.

Old root cord was 33 inches
new root cord is 38
old area was ~2500
new is ~3000
Old Max CL (no flaps) ~1.0
New Max CL (flaps) ~2.2 maybe more (only where ther are now flaps)
Old Calculated stall speed at AOA 10 deg was ~37 mph
New Calculated stall speed at AOA 10 deg is ~27 mph
Old Wing span 12 foot
New Wing span 12 foot

Dumb question: Those wood spars with the aluminum joiners. How do they get set into the foam and how deep? Does the foam get routed out?

DC-10 Gets a new Wing
The blanket:
I was talking to the new owner on the phone and
he was telling me how he land the 60 lb plane
on a 500 foot grass runway. He said that as
the plane ran off the runway, someone would
toss a blanket at / in front of the plane so when
it stops in the bushes, all is well. Now he was
talking about 90 mph and maybe I misunderstood.
BFK.. The foam gets removed, then the aluminum joiners
are screwed to the plywood, then all that gets glued
in and the gaps filled with epoxy and Micro Ballons.
