I might look a name/model name change, makes sense if someone has it already -

Ok so, life does what it does and happens....just like the rest of us. Have had a bit of time off so have been working on the Foxcon Project and have made some ground finally with the Valkyrie design, i had to become more efficient at CAD to finish the bits that were holding me up.....but.....i am nearly there with the final drawings and renders, also had to teach myself how to do the render artwork aswell but i have some pics here of the progress. -

Good afternoon, looking to see anyone's thoughts on a good improvement on from the Clark Y airfoil, I believe these are a good airfoil with relatively stable stall characteristics but is o tad on the older side. not wanting to reinvent the wheel but looking for honest opinions on maybe a better designed airfoil for better STOL Characteristics, 90kn cruise etc. Cheers Rob

Peasant_Pilot replied to Phillip King's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
Im pretty sure i have some avid mk iv plans if you havnt sourced any yet Cheers Rob -
Good afternoon all, im currently looking for any info or plans if possible on the the later Model C Karatoo Wing with the Ibeam Spar, just looking for any info possible, i have plan sets here but it does not have the later model spar design specs Kind regards Rob

Timber Wing inspections
Peasant_Pilot replied to Peasant_Pilot's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
thankyou -
Good evening all, Just looking to get some insight on inspecting wood wings, they are uncovered and mostly constructed, they are either Spruce or Hoop pine but id say they are hoop pine just based off the information i have. besides the obvious things like cracking and splits etc, are there any techniques, checks i can do on the spars? moisture check etc Cheers in advance Cheers Rob

Foxcon Project
Peasant_Pilot replied to Peasant_Pilot's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
Appreciate the positivity mate, never really have quite understood the issue with having projects while in relationships. Motivation to fi is this thing has never dimmed though and now having more dedicated time to put in I'm feeling really good about it -
Foxcon Project
Peasant_Pilot replied to Peasant_Pilot's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
Still moving forward on it, have gone through a separation over the last few months and have just moved etc, new place has more plane building space, all the parts etc are currently sitting stored at work for another couple of weeks, will be primed any day now, now that the main body work is all done. So having more time soon to work on it I'm feeling positive about the build -

I like the Atec. Nice aircraft. I actually looked a lot at the wing design as I like the high aspect ratio in the wing. -

Some of the early work on the model, started with the side profile sketch. The biggest hurtle has been learning CAD -

Peasant_Pilot replied to Peasant_Pilot's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
Thats very similar to what I'm planning on doing. Build a central beam with rotisserie style mounts and I'll be mounting bulkhead/rib section all the way along.....foam in between then skin it -

Very cool mate, good to see. I'll be hopefully starting to do the plug soon
