Need help - Building from scratch
I need help.
I am attempting to build my first plane from scratch. Actually an electric thermal glider. I have the airfoil that I want to use - RG15 - and have done research on how to cut the foam wings. I built and tested the foam cutter – works great. Will use balsa to sheet the wing. I am going to make the wing 110” from tip to tip. My problem is the body. I am not sure what length to make the body. I also would like to make the body out of fiberglass but again not sure how to do this. Balsa and plywood is always an option for the body but ideally I would like to make it out of fiberglass. If you have any ideas on what length/thickness the body should be, or how to make it, please e-mail me at: [email protected] I would appreciate any information that one has to offer. Thank you |
