15 Size F6F-3 Hellcat
« on: January 13, 2017, 05:54:21 PM »
I will be releasing a 15 size scale F6F-3 Hellcat. The airplane will be profile scale or sport scale. the wing will be scale, with slight anhedral in the center and dihedral on the outboard portions. The airplane will be 1'=1'-0" scale. The leading edge of the wing will be sheeted, the ribs will be cap stripped aft of the leading edge sheeting. The wingspan will be 42.8" with 332 square inches of wing area. The airplane will be for .15 to .25 engines. The wing will not be symmetrical, but there is plenty of shape on the bottom side of the wing for it will to be a good flying sport airplane. The wing is NACA 2415 at the root and NACA 2412 at the tips. The rib profiles are attached.

Awesome! Thanks for looking into this. A club member here has a 35 sized profile hellcat. His friend built it years ago, but passed away before they got to fly it. He brought it out and asked me to get it running, and maiden flight it, finally.... lol.
Well we flew it that day, and I've dreamed of one since!
A small one like this would suit our needs better
