I've just finished my first (acceptable) S8E wing and am working on the design for the full glider. I have some Allegro tailbooms from Goodwinds Kites and put an order in for some ASK/RCBuilder.com all flying stabilizer mounts. Next on the agenda is to work up a CNC mould for the pod and sand some balsa tail surfaces. I'm really looking forward to getting this thing done and getting some true RC sailplane action.
Wing Specs:
Construction: Standard DOW blue foam, 1.4oz E-glass 45* bias (one layer, 2" root doubler), .25"x.007" spars, top and bottom
Airfoil: Drela AG16 (root), Thinned AG16 (tip)
Root Chord: 5.75"
Tip Chord: 4.5"
Span (flat): 47"
Wing Area: 241 sq. in.
Dihedral: 12.5* per side
Mass: 65g
EDIT: I almost forgot: a huge thank you to Bob F. from the MTMA club for getting me this far. He helped to get me past the "scare factor" of doing foam/FG wings and let me use his vac-bagging equipment.
