-----Original Message----- From: David Register [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RCSE] 2M Re-Visited As a diversion from the LSF angst, I'd like to briefly resurrect an old thread. Shortly after NATS there was a flurry of dialog regarding 2M design. My comments, in general, suggested there was still some room to upgrade 2M designs, look more closely at the Drela airfoils, optimize planforms at the wing loadings we could achieve, etc. etc. So for the last 6-8 weeks that's been a fun project. The result is a poly, aptly named the Kahuna 1.8 (2M doesn't quite fit in the bed of my truck so we opted for 72" span). Although a poly, it's intended to be a validation platform for trying a few things out. Basically a V-tail, pod and boom, Drela section, optimized planform for the wing loading and still winchable at an AUW of 19.5oz. The structures are basically similar to DLG but without the need for a sub-rudder. Other than that (and swapping out the airfoils), it's more or less a discus on steroids RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
