Flair Hannibal

[Basil]

Can anyone help me regarding the CG of the Hannibal?. I cant seem to find any reference to its position marked on the plan or in the instructions that I have managed to get a copy of . Thanks in advance.

Its on the main spar.   I thought that I had a digital copy but can't locate it at the moment.

Hi, a friend is building a Flair Hanibal but cannot find what the dihedral should be, can anyone help please?

In the absense of any authoritive answer, a bit of googling reveals that the aileron wing option of the Atilla (the Hannibal is essentially a double sized version) has 32mm of dihedral under one tip so doubling this is unlikely to be far out.  To be honest, it's not going to be critical on a model of this type - you're not going to worry too much about trim in knife edge and just a couple of degrees of dihedral for lateral stability will be fine.

Thank you Martin, I will pass the info on.

I have a Hannibal kit (as well as Attila, Magnatilla and Puppeteer) in my collection of kits - the intention was to build them after taking early retirement form work.

 

If you still need this or any other information, I can look it up for you.
