think structurally , and arodynamically , you need ' horses for courses . Or theres the easy way , and theres the hard way .
Certainly Wing Loading / Structurally - a ' mainstream model has evolved this way ( Er Modded Noblers !
)
HOWEVER , theres a clip on one of Windy's videos showing something like THIS performing the FULL SCHEDULE .
If it flys that well at that stage of development , obviously conventional ships will be obsolette in a few years .
Id just about got into a replacement 72 in. 8 : 1 Mewgull , as it was a hot groovey ship that handled the wind well . But Highly ?? unconventional,
Flaps maybe 1/3 span only . Plus coulda done with being lighter to get out past 5.0 Lap comfortably . which maybe got it out of the ' TENSION & STREERING '
parameters that were its forte . was 630 Sq In and 70 + Oz . So a ' Off run ' was an impairment .
I think a convention designs advantage is its less critical there , but most of that is Wing & Power Loading advantage .
The new smaller Mewgull with Full span Flaps , the drag further out turning is more susceptable to gust stability. Or Instability ! .
Long wings , 3/16 or 1/4 spars let in FLAT on the ARCH , Tapered from say 1/4 x 2 in at root to 1/8 x 1 in at tip , stop thw wings falling off .
But my opinion is the whole ship should be long and skinny ish , not just the wing . Look at a aerobatic GLIDER . full Size .
PLANK Fuselages , as in the current trend ! L O N G - D E E P fuselages , seem to ' keep out there ' the best .Sometimes , maybe.
As T Tapered circular effort , its discernable the Flying surfaces , Do the Work . To rich - slow ( for manouvres ) it putters along gently
osccilating slightly . At under 6.0 / Lap , it ' Locks In ' as the air pressure generated ' glues ' it to the atmosphere .
This is one with a sharpish L E Tail Plane - Full sized said to give most accurate control , a knife edge responasive , tho ' locked in ' aeroplane,
generally unbothered by rough air - wind .
I think like Vehicals , its a mistake to do a ' sum of the parts ' type UNLESS its within existing perameters . Mid field Aeriodynamically .
Dunno if the yatsenko is as said , He measured most existing good ships , and did a ' Law of Averages ' on the ' Classic ' . ( first one .)
But for ' Outside the Norm ' , a think you need a theme / concept of useage . To get the perameters to cohere .
As in a Hillclimb sucker MUST steer under hard brakes , turn in , balance on the throttle , And Not be ' Hair Trigger ' - unless you want to visit the scenary .
Thous find you Altitude - density . Season - Climate .. and try for a ' cutting edge ' at one extreme . Or go for good midfield ( of use ) parameters .
But like ' theres no such thing at too much horsepower ' ,
USEABILITY - thuss not a critical set up , power train , or loading ,are going to make your life a lot easier .
Draggy things way out asideways from the fuselage are going to steer the tips , and likely the whole ship , if yr Not Carefull .
The BEAR .46 Trip is worth a look , on N-30 or Classic . The Original Treatesse , Via link there . After All Gieske wasnt to bad a Pilot .
Was a laser cut kit around for it at one stage .
