Some of you had questions about the changes I made to the Sig Fazer kit to get to my "Fixed Fazer".
I managed to find the Fazer plans I marked up. For those of you who have the kit, compare your plans to the mark-up plans and the dimensions below and that should give you a pretty good idea of what needs to change (everything!!) Unfortunately, I did not mark up the wing on these plans, but I kept about the same span of 48 inches and added nicely shaped tips to give about a 54 inch span.
Note multiple areas of "white out".....
In the picture of the plans with a ruler set on the front of the nose ring, here are the dimensions:
- to wing L.E. = 9.5"
- to wing T.E. = 19.25"
- to flap T.E. = 22.5"
- to stab L.E. = 32.25" (yes, the plans with ruler differ, but this is the correct dimension)
- to stab T.E. = 35.25"
- to elev T.E. = 38.25"
- to tail end = 39"
Stab span = 24"
stab chord at tip = 2"
elev chord at tip = 2"
fin height at rudder hingeline = 6" (see note, below)
C/L of wing is 1/2" below C/L of motor mounts
C/L of stab is 3/4" above C/L of engine mounts
Wing and flaps are tapered, I hadn't marked down and don't recall the tip chord dimensions. Just use what is reasonable.
Note on elevator: the Fixed Fazer started out with a 6" tall rudder, but then one day John decided he didn't want to kneel down to launch the plane and instead pinched the rudder. He pinched it too hard! So when I later had an accident and was making repairs, I amputated the top 1 inch of John's handi-work....
