Chord is the distance between leading edge of wing and trailing edge. There are different chord measurements tho. There's the root chord (the chord at the fuse) and the tip chord (the chord at the tip of the wing).

Not very elegant, but hope this helps,

the standard pbf size is 24" x 24", that means the wing chord, (constant chord) is 24". on a normal configured plane, this would be the minimum distance between the two wing panels.

have a go with the pbf, if it doesnt work, try seperating them more. and as phil said, have fun!

i remember my first pbf flight, yeah, that was fun :bananahea:

I tried something similar last year. It did fly, but not very well.
Here is a link to the thread I posted back then. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_38.../tm.htm#384790
Lots of luck.
