Hey Folks,

I've aquired two 1/5 Wacos in the past years. One, at one time, was a contest winner. It was scaled out to the max with all the rib stitching, rivets, fuel lines and caps, everything....

RE: Airfoil Suggestions

Good point. Also the carbon tubes and joiner will cost nearly a C note. I was thinking about this today, about just going ahead and building a standard box type spar and trying it out. I don't want...

Well, I decided on the SD7037 for the whole wing, cut the chord down to 10" and am most likely going to use a CF tube spar.
