Help on O/D twin construction methods - engine nacelle mounting
Hi folks,
I originally posted this in the Tips & Techniques section but have been advised to post here.
I want to draw up plans for a smallish twin engined model, high wing, between 60" and 70" span, two .36 engines in nacelles built into the wing, a-la Dornier 328. Wing will probably be built up. I have never built a twin before and not sure how to integrate the engine pods/nacelles into the wing structure without adding too much weight. Thoughts on both foam and built up methods would be much appreciated. Wouldn't mind buying a plan from somewhere if it showed a good method of construction. I would like the structure to be integrated or at least in contact with the spar for peace of mind.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
Al
