And surprise, here's another update: Airfoil sections have been calculated out, courtesy of Excel
Basically, this spreadsheet takes the coordinates for an airfoil and automatically calculates the size based on the given airfoil section length (cad) and distance from the root of the wing. copy the whole column of 200 coordinates, open Autocad LT, create a polyline, paste, boom. airfoils. Now, you're probably wondering "gee, thats a lot of work, why would you do this?" Because the real article uses a wing that changes airfoils over its shape, like a different variant, different thickness. I'm at least going to match the thickness.
And after all that talk of scale, i'm most likely going to ditch flaps...at least for the moment. The current wing loading if i bring this right to where i want it to be, FAA legal at 55lbs, puts cube loading around 5.6, which is like a light trainer aircraft, except with a t/w ratio of over 1 to 1 at full power. They're also fairly complex on this aircraft, because they are in 6 sections. This would require 12 servos, which is a lot of weight, cost, etc. for a feature thats probably not required when the plane will be built light. This may also free up some weight for engine pods, who knows.
The current task being worked on is attachment. There is a basic design for wing spars and airfoil sections, but now they need to attach to the fuselage (that hasn't been designed yet, lol). The plan is to have the wing break into 2, split on the center over the fuselage. The wing will also take a bit of the upper fuselage with it when removed. The wings will most likely bolt together, and a few reinforcement pieces to give the spar its correct angle will also have bolt holes in them, threaded insert on one side, bolt hole on the other. The wings will then attach to the fuselage using more of these bolt pockets attached to a wooden airfoil section at 6" out that runs parallel with the fuselage. This will be done to prevent some of the torque seen last year from being effectively transferred into the fuselage mounts and damaging it.
Sorry for the lack of pictures guys, about as boring on my end as it is in yours. I'm hoping build starts in around a month, once everything is designed. Not leaving stones unturned this time around.
