Programs..

Also you could try a Airfoil design program like this one to help get a wing together.

Not sure how they go with the Spits Plan view though.Thats our stumbling block at the moment…

Bwaaahhhhaahhaaaahahahaaaa!!

I think you will find who really killed JFK will be easier to figure out than the spitfire wing.Believe me we tried (on hold for the moment actually)…………:diablo:
NACA numbers are 2209.4 at the wing tip (either at the tip itself or at rib 19,haven,t found a solid answer) and the root is 2213 at Number1 rib..we think.Washout I think you are close in the figures..
Scaling down full sized wings doesn,t mean scaling down the flight characteristics IIRC.Have heard RC Spits are vicious if you build the wing exactly to the real one.
Being an irregular elliptical wing makes finding the chord a pain as the highest point of each rib section changes throughout the wing length. Mr Mitchell was a genius when he designed it..In that respects I have no hope…:o Aircraft design isn,t really my strong point.Give me a hammer and some ally and I,m Ok though..:cool:

Off memory….

“FF” is first flight,”GP” is factory flown from??

She looks a beaut…

I,m speechless.Finally she flies….Thanks Mk12.And thanks to all involved.Years ago Peter Crosier came up here gathering up Spitfire parts.Don,t know if many reached it to the airframe but gives a small satisfaction seeing the Spit fly.Now to await all the stunning air to air pics amongst the NZ landscape..:D
Did they get a handle on the niggling UC bug?

Being in love….

To be honest,having a biased approach to the Spit all I can say is that it,s like being in love with a supermodel.You just HAVE to tell everyone about it…:cool:

The problem with Spits…

Is that not a lot of the major sub assemblies are interchangeable.Especially in the fuse frames where each aircraft was virtually hand built.Taking a frame and transferring it to another and expecting holes to line up is a pipe dream.Only way to go is to fully reskin it with new holes or with bare undrilled frames.Tails and wings aren,t an issue as they are readily detached.These days you pretty much have to work with what you have got.
First Flight!!!Made my miserable working week a lot happier..:D Thanks Mk12

Congrats to the winners…..

And well done to all the fellow Spit-thusiusts.Feels great to be in good company.
Hope a rescue mission from the Tower of London isn,t in order for Tangemere…:dev2:
Hope it all gets sorted soon.It,s too small a hobby..
