Yeah, it will be a 40 size 48" profile for a Saito 82.... :rolleye:

Thanks to Wild Fred (Ferroplane) and Menaceflyer (Wild Tiger), I believe I can create something fun from scratch. :nw:

I want a lazy-touch-and-go-fat-tire slab I can put lights and floats on :shrug2:

And sheeting even, in places :drunk:

Your spar, Sir. Made entirely of morning 1"x1/16" bass and 1/4" balsa wood :mrgreen:

Think Nitro J. with a large ferro type wing :rockon:

...and I'm using Elmer's :tu:

you know, many years ago I built a cabin plane with a big ferro type wing, big (for the era) control surfaces, hardwood mounts w/ a tank on top like the corkscrew. called it mr. hankey, covered in brown ultracoat. flew good!
I expect it to fly. :dk: beyond that is a bonus :drunk:

Elmer's. So easy to clean up :superhappy:

the pic was elevator frames, but you get the idea.
Clever as shit :mrgreen:

Ima be using a full tip rib, mounted at 45 deg for an hoerner effect.... :doh: some Wagas *** suggested this in the STOL thread... :mrgreen:

massive spar! I made mine outa 3 pc. 1/8" balsa, full depth, with l.e. sheeting.indestructable. the mount setup was kinda like you did on the ferro, tankexposed, rubberbands over dowel drilled under bearers.
Right?! You build a ferro, you can build any fuselage-style plane out there :tu:

But I heard it was not wise to go full CJ, so I'm keeping it profilitic :p

J, it will probably be OK on this, but the shear webbing needs to go 90º from the spar direction for max strength from the assembly.
