The plane flew very well "right off the board" on Friday evening. The
CG was just right. All I have to do is match motor size to prop for
duration. I didn't have time strip rubber for a motor a few hundreths
of an inch larger than what I had with me.
I even got lucky on the first incidence setting on the main wing, but
forgot to mark the same on the wing posts before the plane was
disassembled at the end of the flying session.
We flew several other planes and only had the gym for two
hours - you know the problem - not enough flying time.
Does anyone have a quick way to determine the pounds/cubic foot of
sheet balsa and balsa sticks? I guess I just have to figure the
volume, weigh it in grams and then convert to pounds. Seems like a
lot of calcuating. Is there a table somewhere that allows me just to
weigh standard size balsa sheet in grams and then look up its density
in pounds per cubic foot?
