Heres my latest attempt at the aerofoil, its as close as I can get it:
It does smack of Clarke's shoes rather than Clark-Y
Just a couple of suggestions Neil,
The nose does pull in a bit, its just aesthetics thats all.
The dihedral - no braces but the inner ribs of the tip sections and the outer ribs of the centre section are cut from 1/4" and angle-sanded to about 3/32 at the spar - or they cut the ribs from 1" TE stock. The 3 sections are then just butt-jointed with glue - I'm sure that as an ARTF it was supplied as 3 panels.
The panel side of each 'dihedral rib' is set at 90 degrees ie parallel to all the others, only the glued face is angled. I spose had I realised that I could have split a panel to get the section!!!
Will the kit have slotted LE & TE Neil? that would make it a much easier & quicker build.
The plan looks great. "Dixie"? "Quicksie"? "Riskie"? (copyright!) "Trixie"?
Its very close to a wrap I think!
Cheers
Phil
PS - Just spotted the 'Phil Tips'
PPS I trim mine by moving the battery around, so the CG varies from around the spar to about an inch behind it. If its windy, I move it forward, if its light I move it back. Moving it an inch or so in total covers all bases. Its a 4xAAA NiMh and there is a small lead weight right at the nose, maybe 1/2 oz or so (guessing)
PPPS not sure if I'm alone on this but I'd rather pay the postage than have jointed sides (pretty please?
