Hello. I recently built Ed's Axon from ExperimentalAirlines (Axon video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKh1gjmTKvw) out of Dollar Tree foamboard and it was my first plane so I crashed it and bashed it a few times and now I am working on repairing it and modifying it to my liking.
One thing I want to try to do is add polyhedral angle to the wings. What is the best way for doing this on a foamboard wing? I used Ed's Armin wing technique and it is a 60" wingspan with a 7" chord and 2" ailerons.
I am either going to modify my current wings or build entirely new ones. Here is a hobbyking plane with wings like what I want to make: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__21932__Hobbyking_E_Fair_Balsa_Glider_1540mm_ARF_.html
My main questions are what is the best way to build and support polyhedral wings?
Can I have my ailerons on the "curved up" ends of the wing and then flaps on the flat part?
I thought I had another question but I can't remember it at the current moment
Thanks for the help!
