Monoline lead out placement.
Dane Martin:
So in designing and building my "log racer", I felt the fuse would be a really great place to hide the torque unit and rod. I'd like to use my current design to convert to monoline, because I'm already making 3. So another one would be easy enough.
My question is, how do you determine the LO position for monoline? So far I have three 1/2a planes I designed. 2 were relatively successful, I'm on the 3rd now. But all of them are 2 line.
Bob Heywood:
For a wheeled model the tip guide needs to be behind the CG just enough so the plane will launch without turning in. Most designs have the control unit at the high point of the wing section.
Bob Heywood:
Pure speed planes that launch from a dolly can tolerate the tip guide on the CG.
Dane Martin:
Ok very cool. This will be a wheeled plane, set up for training. I will incorporate that into the next wing. Thank you.
Dane Martin:
It's a sub-rudder because it's based on a proto event. But just for training and having fun, it shouldn't affect converting it to monoline, I hope.
