Ace Warbird for C/L
« on: April 24, 2012, 10:48:44 AM »
In 1973 RCM had a set of plans for three warbirds using Ace foam wings. If I remember correctly it used a set of tapered chord wings and a 6"constant chord center section. Since it was for mini R/C it had a built up fuselage.. Would this be a good plane to convert to C/L?
I have 3 sets of tapered wings and a set of constant chord so I could easily build all three planes. Would a Norvel .061 be adequate power or to much.

The problem will be that the Ace wings are only semi-symmetrical.  For sport scale and casual flying, not a problem, but a real bear if you want insides and outsides to fly the same. (It can be done with thrust and bellcrank adjustments, but it isn't easy!  I managed with an undercambered Firebaby, but it was extremely challenging.)

Corehouse sells some foam combat wings that would work better.
