Hey, All. Looking for some numbers. Last week when I was at a club member’s garage, I noticed a Medallion .09 sitting on his bench. I asked about it and he said he got it from another club member. The engine was locked up and he didn’t know what to do. So, I took it home, cleaned it up, and test ran it on the stand. I took it over to his house this afternoon.
Initially he started to offer it back to me, but I told him I already had three or four .09 Medallions. He then asked if I would ever build a plane for a Medallion .09. I owned up that I probably would. He said that if I do, cut out two kits and he’d build one also. The first thing that popped into my head was an All American. As I was leaving, I asked if he had any preferences. He said something quick, and profile. So the All American is out. I figured I have all sorts of plans for an .09 that I’ve downloaded over the years from OZ, so I have plenty to choose from.
But then, my AADD (Airplane Attention Deficit Disorder) kicked in, and my mind started wandering. A few years ago I ordered a Sig Super Chipmunk wing kit to build a Sarpolus Challenger “someday”. Later I decided a .15 sized Challenger would be cool. Then I thought I’d build a Sarpolus 1/2A Challenger. So now, I figured “Why not slightly enlarge the 1/2A Challenger for the Medallion .09?” I’ve been itching to try my bladder pressure Medallion conversion on an .09, so this is perfect.
So what would all you gurus suggest for a wing area on this?
