his design was a champ in the early- mid sixties. It would be for Classic these days. It would be comparable to most designs in the era and can handle a bit larger engines. I plan to use something from my Iron Curtain engine shelf- Raduga 7 cc most likely. (About a .42).
SO , will Gardner do some A B C Baffled Raduga P / Ls.
Actually , think it'd be near enough a Talka , if it were so .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Noblers and half the other birds on the planet DONT have ' modern ??
airfoils , and have flown succesfully for generations .
The AFT ' high point ' correspondingly likely carries a aft C.G. for rapid response , tight squares . To my mind it'd be a mistake to ' mess haphazardly with the design .
Could not fly ' as original ' if it were . The ' clean ' airfoil would cut cleanly through rough air . Not bounce everywhere like these modern barges .
Was going to relate , getting the airfoil from the ' plan ' enclosed ( of the two wheeler ) as its clear and readable , tracing the three on clear paper , to see if inaccuracies have crept in .
regarding less exact copies ??
As the Gieske Nobler has won 5 U S Nats & a W C or two , along with Werwages ' not that thick ' airfoils , I cant see it worth D F R P there , as it'd ' reconfigure ' the Aero Dynamics
and likly result in a ' out of trim ' configuration .
The Other Plan in the mail , with same bellcrank location ( which I believe enhances manoureability ) and similar construction , must be from the same ' school ; if not ' author ' .
AnywaY, THERES A FULL RIB SCHEDULE ON THE DRAWING ON THE WAY .
