A Little Force
« on: November 07, 2019, 08:26:53 AM »
The original plane had a 1/8th" balsa sheet wing.  That wing kept warping which made the plane a dog.  I removed the sheet wing and added the built up Little Teosawki kit wing.  The initial test flight showed that plane has good potential.

Larry,
Can you provide a bit more info?  I really like the look of this, having gone thru at least 3 PF's before they became unobtainable.  And, since I have one of the BMJR 1/2A TEOSAWKI kits it would be a snap use the kit wing and to make a different fuse/tail group.  But it would be useful to know if you had a specific percentage scale factor for the PF plan, and/or it would be useful to know what the wingspan of your little cutie might be.  I can work backwards from that.
TIA,

Hey, that's just my size! When does a plan go public? Need another bets tester?

I fly from concrete as much as possible, and have a splash of Norvels and APs looking for something more capable than the Scientific P-40 I trashed this past summer.

TIA,

I think any built up wing or foam wing fitting those general specs would work.  Just shape the fuselage, tails, and wing tips to the desired shape.

Larry,

Thanks for posting the numbers on your little PF.  That should be sufficient for what I have in mind.  Thank you!

Larry that looks great!! Looking forward to seeing it fly. Motorman we fly off of a folding card table on grass. Larry even has a stooge attatched to his for flying solo. Then just land on the grass but with no bending over on start ups.
