RE: Debonair Engine

RE: balancing an airplane for its initial flight

In addition to that question,

What about side to side balancing? Is there an emphasis on this? Do I add weight to the tips of the wings to achieve this, or move the wing placement and just...

Wing Design Advantage

If I did it correctly the picture attached should show a wing that has a flat central section, with the last 1.5' or so of the wing ends swept up with dihedral. This is a picture from an earlier...

RE: SQUARE PVC IDEAs

Fiend,
You should have gotten the Black ABS Pipe instead of that sch 40 PVC stuff. The Black ABS pipe is about 1/3 to 1/2 lighter with more rigidity and the same wall thickness. It is sold as DWV...

RE: Debonair Engine

I ended up getting the SuperTigre .45. I'll take Cosmos advice and break it in well. I'm still working on the plane. I got the wing together yesterday afternoon, so in the evenings this week I'll...

Debonair Engine
