Dirk,
THanks for the offer to help in lofting the airfoils. I ordered the tail
assembly manual and Bob indicated he would include as much information as
he could about the airfoils, plan form, etc. When I see what I get I
will drop you a note.
I am anxiously awaiting the info as I think the vacuum bagging along with
a semi ridged "mold" structure to jig the wing pannels while the epoxy is
cured is the best way to go. Should result in a lighter, stronger wing
in a fraction of the time.
Thanks,
Steve
