SIMON CRAGG Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Has anybody heard of a model called a "TailWing" please?. From what I have read, it was an RCME plan over 20 years ago. High wing 70" with a VERY wide fuz. Weight about Lb11.00 Not had much luck so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I designed one for RCM&E about 11 or 12 years ago. Someone esle did a build blog on it here **LINK** I can't find the plans listed anywhere. It was a full size plan but only about 50" span or so.

kevin b Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Do you mean this one Pete ? Sarik should have the plans listed, but if not I might be able to help as it was a free plan (I don't sell them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON CRAGG Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks for the info chaps. Looks like the one we have just purchased (£10.00), is a scaled up version with a slightly different wing tip. Everything else is more or less the same. A club mate and I are in the process of converting it to electric. The model was on the way to the dump. We were drawn to it, as it is VERY unusual!.

Peter Miller Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 That is it. One thing that I have never been able to forgive. Inspite of my emails they never corrected the fact that the wires that plug into the tubes toholdthe ings on somehow moved to outside the the centre of the wing spars. Soif anoyone had problems IT WAS NOT MY FAULT Althought it does seemthat on this drawing it has been corrected Edited By Peter Miller on 12/02/2020 21:09:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
