Yep, at 1/12th scale. Quite a complicated profile, but plenty of wing area. Watch this space...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Meade Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think you can count a lot of body area and the leading edge chines into the wing area for that as well. Sure is a pretty bird - would look great in a modern Russian splinter camo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Jones Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It's just wrong IMHO, there's no excuse for not using a proper section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 'Berkut perhaps?' Just where would you start to locate the C of G?! I wouldn't have a clue. Proper sections are for sissies! Just joking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 There could be a bit of read-across from the slope-soaring X29 plan that is out there, but the sure-fire way would be a 12" span flat plate (yes I said it) chuckie glider. Then build the 10 foot wingspan one Ade... Edited By Andy Meade on 14/02/2017 11:18:28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I promise to use 'proper' sections in the future, but reserve the right to use flat plane sections for the canards And I will be using the technical drawing methods to establish a workable C of G, Piers. Once I dig out my old text books But it may well resort to a chuck glider and blue tac Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
