Help needed .....going to build a Spirit 2m clone.

[asennad]

I have an old 2-channel radio that is from the wreckage of a Gentle Lady. I haven't used it in many years nor flown a glider in that time.

I like the look of the Spirit 2M but hear the quality of the kit is not up to par so I think I'll clone it. I have plans and the manual. Any suggestions?

What, if any, incidences are there on the wing and stab? What’s a good airfoil to use on a model like this?

I plan to increase the length of the tail and sturdy up the wing. When I’m done I’ll draw it up in CAD post the file.

Take a look at these airfoils, especially AG35-37:

With so many modifications, you would be better off building an Allegro Lite whose design is more refined than any thing else so far.
