Hi Sebastian,
The pilot hasn't got broad shoulders, he will get a big head and the plane is very narrow!

Bonjour a tous,

Hi Sebastian,
Yes it feels just rigid enough. Calcullongeron says it could withstand 20G. That should be enough!

I go on with the Hjordis,
After the wing was sheeted, it feels pleasantly sturdy and very torsionally stiff. Now the ailerons. To get them torsionally stiff enough, I wanted to make a small D box f ... |

Bonjour a tous,
Moving on to the wing. Given the choice of airfoil and the fact that the plywood is not varnished, I decided to sheet the top and bottom separately. First the bottom: I planed and s ... |

Because there was not enough space for the aileron servo at the location of the aileron, it had to be moved closer to the wing root. I decided to place it under the aperture of the ... |
