John,
The simplest method is to use a pair of 3/8 inch ID CF tubes for the
spar. If you are using fiberglass for the skin, a 30 inch spar will give
good support. If you are using wood or CF for the skin a 20 inch spar will
work. If the wing is a

in 1977 & 1978, they have plans, construction diagrams of models, as
well as discussions of aerodynamics. They go to the first person who sees

We have a building season out here in SOCAL as well.
It starts at sunset each day.

Hi Gang,
Well, the North winds started blowing here today and the temperatures are
dropping signaling the start of building season. So I guess it is time to
post again about my model building and/or assembly service. If you have
planes that are setting around not getting built because you lack

can only be your tower or your timer.

Yes, Dana, you will probably find yourself in the minority of LSF'ers who
made the wrong call on how to score your contests, but I don't believe anyone
