edmonds ivee question?

[Doug Holverson]

How far back do the wings mount on an Edmonds Ivee?

On the plans at JimZ's there is a shadowed airfoil outline on the fuselage template.
That is where the wings mount.

It looks like the tube should be BT20, provided you agree with that, what length should the tube be? I'm working a tribute scratch build

I'm 98% certain it's a BT-5. A B6/C6 would be way too much power for a glider this size. I had one way back in 2017 and got well over a minute on a 1/2A. Highly recommend a 1/2A3-2T for the first flight.

The Ivee 2G kit consists of a 13mm body tube, eleven (11) laser cut balsa pieces, a balsa nose cone, a Kevlar external shock cord, and a piece of tape

Good council, thank you.
so a BT5 tube, what length of tube?

Not a clue.

Not sure if this picture can be of help, if you scale it to known BT-5 diameter

BT5 is correct, thank you. Do you know the length of the tube?

Thank you, I think that can be done. Cool looking rocket I've admired the Edmonds product for years. only recently decided I could afford to build some (a little late)

The Ivee was unusual. Most as I recall flew great built stock. Needed little if any trimming.

Really liked the CiCi2, but I was not successful in cloning it well . His designs were elegant in their simplicity.

Scaling from the photo, it looks like ~8.5".

I want to say that the standard 13mm Edmonds pop pod was 8 inches long. Used on the Ivee2G and the Deltie.
