new 5% Arctic Fox uder construction
« on: October 27, 2012, 11:09:26 AM »
I hae started my new Arctic Fox that I am building with plans blown up to 500 square inches and will be powered by a Stalker 40 rear ehaust engine. I hope to have it ready for thespring contest. This was always a project that I wanted to do after building the original Fox with a wing area of 478 squares. This plane will be same size as the electric that Iam working to finish also by spring. I am also building an Aeronica cheif scale for electric. This should keep this old guy busy the rest of winter and the some. As of yet no picture but will post when I have time to take them. I know doc you havn't started yours yet. HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~>

5% increase on original 478 sq in area stated in first post or in other words, 105% size.

Yes ah bigger it looks.I have also got plans blown up to 15% larger  so it is 46 or 51 size'. I have reduced the size of this plane and did a 25 size plane that would do full mpattern with ease. It also flew right in the grove the original. It had Fox 25 for per and a nice two four break' HB~> HB~> HB~>

Hey Leo.  I hope your Aeronca is C/L scale.  Also, I hope you will enter it in the NW Regionals.  We need more scale entries.

Oh, I see. By the topic header I thought it would have a 5" wing span.

5% of 50 is 2.5.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

And besides, based on the topic head, you aren't building an airplane. Your building an udder.
