Title: Sniper wing area?
Post by: Jim Roselle on January 21, 2015, 03:58:03 PM: I was hoping someone could tell me the wing area of the sniper .15 carrier model.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I'm thinking of scratch building something for .15 carrier.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

That's the plan, but I may tweak the dimensions a little for a better chance of a good flyer.
I'm thinking a F2G Super Corsair with a sheet wing. It will be a 3/16 wing, double thickness to 50% chord for a kfm airfoil.
