Summer is quickly approaching and I'm looking to get back into getting back into the hobby with a custom build. I plan on designing and getting the bits laser cut, but i'd love some guidance from the people who know what they are doing! Its going to be a hand launch (gentle discus maybe), but I don't plan on doing any high starts. I know I won't get massive flights out of it, I just want something pretty that I can have fun with. But I do have a few questions!
1. What are the advantages to a V-Tail vs. a standard one?
2. Are carbon fiber spars good ideas for the wings? They're lighter and stiffer than basswood but more expensive.
3. What internal structures have you found is most sturdy with your planes' wings?
I've researched all of these things before, but I'd really value some insight from people who have experience rather than words on a webpage.
Thanks guys!
