[RCSE] zipper skin, 1/32 too thick?

2002-12-10 Thread mlcleary
I'm building a Zipper that I purchased from one of our fine members. It calls for 1/64 ply skin, I have some 1/32 ply. I'm thinking that the thicker skin will make it more Martin proof... Will the extra weight and thicker foil make it too much of a hog? Also, will 3M 77 (old version) be strong

[RCSE] Advice, Please, On Fitting Out A Pretty Mantis Fuselage

2002-12-10 Thread Jeb Bushell
I'm about to start fitting out a Pretty Mantis fuselage and I'd appreciate any tips. It will be installed with servos forward, not in the tail. Is it normal to need to add nose weight? If so, I'd prefer to add strength, not lead. TIA, Jeb __

We are talking about a high start contest where light planes would do well, right? So, I daydream a bit about this, and it dawns on me: use the DLG technique to give the plane a superboost. We' d have to learn how to bend over enough to swing the plane over our heads. Just thinking, Rense Lange

2002-12-10 Thread Brett Jaffee
I would stick with the 1/64. The wing is so small that it will still be very, very stiff. Also, the plane needs a decent amount of wind to fly, or at least fly well...more so then other slopers with similar wing loadings. I wouldn't do anything that could increase the weight too much.

I don't think you will have any problem at all with the thicker wing skins. The wing will be stiff and stronger and may even fly better. The little bit of extra weight wont hurt, it will just make your plane a little faster. Most slopers end up flying with extra ballast anyway. The extra airfoil
