Hi all. I just wanted to weigh in on this subject.
Indoor stick duration planes seem to do well with a positive main wing
incidence of about 2 degrees and a negative stab incidence of about 1 -
2 degrees. You don't want any downthrust on the prop of an indoor
stick duration plane, unlike Peanut, Walnut, Embryo, Bostonian, etc.
indoor sacle models that have box type fuselages.
Plug-in tail booms are nice for travel, but a bit tricky to execute.
Wing posts and sockets for the stab are nice too, for the experienced
flyer. It can get complicated if you are adjusting both wing
incidence and stab incidence.
I look forward to Bill Gowen's report on his flying of his Little
Square this weekend. The design is very well thought out, and the
plan is easy to follow. Bill's model (in the photo gallery) is
beautifully built. Bill, if your flying site ceilng height is real
low, e.g. twenty-five feet or less, please give us some times with
partial motors so we can extrapolate and see what she will really do.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful design with us.
Here is a question for everyone. Is it worth wrinkling the Ultrafilm
before applying it to the wings, like Ray Harlan recommends?
