Anybody else scratch building tonight?

[danskis]

@The Fopster - it wouldn't be soon but I"d really like to have a go at this if you don't mind sharing the plans. I get it that there will be a lot of improvisiing. I really want to do a 30s racer and this one looks great.

That looks awesome! I think take it out for a maiden and get it flying first, and then decide if you want to make it a bipe. Just like Josh Bixler said,"If you try to build a good looking plane, it will never fly. If you try to make a good flying plane and then make it look good, it will turn out great!". Probably not his exact words, but you get the idea.

It was going to be a biplane all along.

Designing a wing for this year's Design Build Fly competition. This one took just 4 hours which is a lot better than last year's which took almost a month.

Do you mind sharing a cross section on that? I’m trying to find better ways to do the wings on my kitfox

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by a 'cross section'. If you elaborate I'll try my best to post whatever you want.

mostly I'm just curious what the airfoil and leading edge looks like from the side
