Getting that type of wing stiff is a huge challenge, though. Maybe use two spars front and rear, linked with thin diagonal braces. If the plane was big enough, you could still do a two-surface airfoil so you have some thickness to add strength. The end result would be something like a CH10. |

No question, the Spacewalker is easier to fly indoors, at least in a gym.
It has lots of diagonal braces. I don't think the Cub will be any problem in a golf dome, which I plan to try within a few months. |

Sorry it took so long, but finally, some video.
Takeoff, 2 laps and landing. I flew it for about 15 minutes today at a local indoor funfly at a golf dome.
I also flew my 56" Spacewalker and my 48" profile P51D Mustang, all scratch-built. |
