Hi guys,
I am thinking a homebuilt aerobatic plane and am asking for your opinion on my idea: The fuselage is of course 4130 steel tubes welded frame. The point is the wing: I am thinking about using exact the same Long-EZ's wings technique, i.e. solid form core+fiber glass cover. Why? Because I think 1)It's much easier and faster to build than other materials, no expensive mold, no metal forming, no thousands rivets, no wood cut and making rib afer rib after rib after rib. 2)The Long-EZ wing is strong. I read Burt Rutan tested the wing structure to 14G and heard some builders tested the wing to 10G themselves, no failures. The wings of Cory Bird's Symmetry are made in Long-EZ way and it's +-10G strong. So what you think? Is it a good idea to make an aerobatic airplane's wings in Long-EZ way? |
