Gentlemen,
Just joined. Building
and designing own single seater.
I have a design question. I have
created 2 separate 6061 t6 tube tailplane halves which will be
strutted from the boom with 2 struts to a single connection on
the tailplane to allow incidence adj on ground. My question is whether there is
a rule of thumb or formulae to find the outboard attach point on the tailplane
and therefore the crossmember location. A case study of existing ul's seems to
favour about 2/3. My gut feeling is aim for 45degrees on the struts if poss to
use max strength in all directions.
