[RCSE] Wing area calculator
I used to have a link to a page that would calculate the area of wing panels, but can't find it anymore. Anyone have a URL? Barring that, in figuring out the area of a single wing panel, with a tapered leading edge and straight trailing edge, is the following formula correct? .5 * (panel span * (root chord + tip chord)) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Wing area calculator
Barring that, in figuring out the area of a single wing panel, tapered leading edge and straight trailing edge, is the following formula correct? .5 * (panel span * (root chord + tip chord)) What you've suggested is correct. For anything other than the ideal of straight TE and single taper LE, though, this would be an approximation. BTW; With some graph paper, a protractor, tape measure and a straight edge you can do a fair job of approximating. But if you want to do it right, as I've said before, use a CAD program. Makes lift so much easier and creates pretty pictures too. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Wing area calculator
Hi. . actually, for a given panel section it would be length in inches x .5 (root chord + tip chord). Or just ignore the .5 to get the sum of the area for both L R panels combined. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 2:14 PM Subject: [RCSE] Wing area calculator I used to have a link to a page that would calculate the area of wing panels, but can't find it anymore.

Re: [RCSE] Balsa Stripper Question
Ed Berris wrote: I'm considering producing a very high quality balsa stripper. It would be made from aluminum bar stock and would be a vast improvement over the plastic ones sold by most hobby shops. The cost would be about $22.00 plus shipping. The question is this: Do you currently use a balsa stripper? Would the cost be too high for you to purchase one if it was a high quality tool? One of my favorite tools is a Harry Higley covering trimmer. A quality item that is almost perfect... it needs a removeable guide. It too is made from bar stock, and is very simple. I don't remember how much I paid, but I'm sure it was more than some would part with. My point being that it is worth every penny to me, and I'd buy another in a moment if I lost/damaged the one I have, or a better one came out! I'd be intereested in a balsa stripper, as I have one of the plastic Master Airscrew ones. I'd spend $22 if it looked right. -- Andrew E.

Re: [RCSE] bagging projects
I'm about to make the jump into vacuum bagging wings and such. I'm curious as to what other projects around the house can be done with this equipment. Anyone using their bagging gear for anything else?If you need to take towels in your suitcase, place them in a plastic bag, draw a vacuum, seal the bagand watch them fit in the smallest space you ever imagined - works when you don't have much shelf space also!

[RCSE] Plane to fly after the contest.
Once the day is done, it's handy to have a plane to fly in the evening. This used to be the Twin Star and the E-Zagi. But, now Slow Fliers are emerging that need less space and lend themselves even more to stupid pilot tricks flying. Even more so with the new LiPoly batteries. Right now I'm flying a Lite Stick and am building an IFO. What are you guys flying? Bill Swingle Janesville, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
