Tim, I guess it's been too long, cuz I don't remember!! I was at Kibbie 2 years ago. Yes, I will be bringing my 3"span orni, as well as a new 2" span, biplane canard orni, If you thought the 3" one was cool, then the 2" model you have to see.
Thanks for the wood sizes. Looking forward to flying some AROG with you.
Cheers
Chris

Hey Chris, its been a long time!
Since the wing spars travel all the way to the tip, I made them tapered.
L/E - .027 x .060 > .027 x .0.035 5.5 lb.
T/E - .027 x .050 > .027 x .035
P.S.- are you going to bring ur mini orni and biplane again? Those were kool.
Tim

Beautiful models! I too am taking AROG models to
Kibbie, although I don't think they will put up much
of a match against yours! What size wood are you
using for such a light, unbraced wing?
