Hi guys,
I just found out MWP will not work out for me. As a result, I'm gunning for AIRFEST.
This tightens up my schedule by about two months. I picked up a Wildman Sport (54mm version) and picked up some components to make it a dual deploy bird.
I intend to make it a high performance bird by putting a 38mm mount in it. I am not sure I'd like to keep the fins just yet... But I could use some assistance.
Is there some type of formula to determine the optimum fin design for a specific airframe length vs diameter?
My plan is to punch it with a 38/1080, and maybe eventually a Loki K1127 if it will fit.
I have been chatting with UpscaleCNC about the parts but the fin design remains my unknown. The rest is fairly simple.
I have not used Proline epoxy but I ordered a small epoxy set and intend to use that on this bird. I'm also considering some tip to tip, along with vacuum bagging to make things nice.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. I never thought I'd be an altitude/speed junkie, but here I am...
Thanks in advance!
Mike Walsh
