I've been poking around my shop lately, clearing out some of the dingy corners. All sorts of things have come out of the dark, from the usual dust bunnies and missing tools to - eh, whats this?!! - a built up wing and tail!!
I forgot about that one. It's left over from some project that never went the distance. It's a 57" span, constant chord, polyhedral glider set-up, meant for a 1/2A size motor glider.
Well, I wanted to mate it with a suitable fuse, sort of a Frankenstein affair. I'd really like a built up pod and boom, something like the Zaic Thermic idea. This would be a "down the line" project, giving the old wing some new life. Maybe it'll even get into the air this time around....
I said I'd like a pod & boom fuse, but I can find little to help me with a DIY design. I have a ton of balsa in the stash and am not really set up to roll booms and glass nose cones, as of now. So that's my limits.
Maybe someone can show a pic of their Thermic 50X plan, wherein the pod/boom structure is detailed? Or something similar?
Thanks
