Super Ares Profile
« on: June 22, 2016, 11:15:15 AM »
This is a profile version of the Bill Werwage Super Ares. The airplane has a 59 11/16” wingspan and 679 square inches of wing area. The kit comes with all the fixturing necessary to build the “I-Beam” wing. The parts are laser cut, all of the wing ribs are laser cut.  The plans are CAD plots with full size templates for all the pre-cut pieces. The built-up version will be available at a later date. All of the wood in the kit is contest balsa. The kit does not contain any control system hardware.
The kits will sell for $260.00 plus shipping. Please indicate whether you want Standard Post or Priority Mail, and if you want insurance. I am not responsible for the package once I deliver it to the Post Office.

Thanks Dennis! I wonder how many Profile I-Beam designs are out there?

perhaps not many, because the ibeam and a profile fuse would localize the stress with great intensitiy on the very very center of the ibeam.
I would be concerned without some very substantial reinforcement,,
but, then thats just my observation, perhaps your design addressed this shortcoming?
For years the rat race had me going around in circles, Now I do it for fun!

Where the fuselage and spar are in contact the fuselage/rootrib assembly is 2 1/4" wide. The 3/8 balsa spar web is 1 3/8" tall in the center, the flanges top and bottom are 1/8 X 1/2 balsa. the spar doublers front and backside of the spar are 1/16 ply between the flanges and are over 22 inches long. There are 1/16 ply spar tripplers front and backside of the spar assembly that are 1 5/8 tall and 5 7/8 long. The spar assembly has 1/8 ply tripplers top and bottom that are 3" long.
I doubt that aerodynamic forces can break a properly assembled spar.
I admit that I had to abandon my traditional choice S section I beam for this application, but the wing is not thick enough, and I don't think we have engines that could lift even the little S6 10# section. LL~  In my professional career we considered anything less than 1/4" plate as sheet metal. We stocked plate up to 8", and I have designed and built products that use 12" plate.

Dane,
The Super Ares is a .60 size airplane. Any good .60 should fly it well. I sure wouldn't try it with an old engine that couldn't pull a fat girl off of a toilet. Your K&B should be a good choice.
