fly boy3 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi Danny, lovely flying shot indeed. I noticed your model has no wing struts ! are these really neccesary on this type of model. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thx FB3 Credit to Chris Bott for the flying shot The plan doesn't show struts so I didn't add them. The addition of struts would make it look more like a full size, all be-it fictitous Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Cheers Dany, reason for question I have completed a lookalike model,with no struts on plan. Just wondered if it will be ok. Hope I am not off thread. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The Barnstormer has no struts on the single top wing to the bottom of the fus, and I would'nt expect a low wing version (if there is a low wing monoplane version) to have struts either. The wings are quite fat, usually a biplane's wings are quite thin needing struts and wires. The Tinker also has two wings and no struts.
