I wondered about the dihedral Colin, in my opinion a high wing model doesn't look quite right with a straight wing, I think perhaps it would be OK to reduce the dimension from 4" under one wing tip to 2", although there's no mention in the handbook (oops! I've admitted that I've looked at the instructions) the wing construction uses the supplied dihedral braces without any mods mentioned anywhere. However, if I build the wing with the designed dihedral, then the model might be quite forgiving if I doze off during the flight, SIG reckon that the Kadet is "self righting", sounds more like the characteristics of a lifeboat.
This morning I had to forgo the delights of the building board in order to brush up on various technical matters. Bernoulli and Coanda played a big part, pressure drop versus air speed,and the magic formula which involves "slugs per second squared". Today's foray was in pneumatics, no lift, thrust, drag or CofG was damaged during the procedure. Having demonstrated my ability to get up off my a**e and drive the Dyson, I must now use my Covid-19 mask when I empty the container.
As they said (and never got away with it) " A woman's work is never done.....Properly".
During my coffee break this morning, I decided to have a look at the plan for the Curare. I've had it for a few years and it was in its original envelope, which seemed curiously plump. No wonder! There tucked in with the huge plan for Curare was an older plan for Mike Birch's Moonglow VI, and the build instructions. I couldn't help thinking that it would be nice to have an even older F3A than Curare. However, I really must get on with the Kadet first......I must......mustn't I?
