Dayton progress!

I’ve been working on the Dayton and am now and am about to make a series of prototypes.

I’m going to try the cellophane tape wing mounting technique that was shown to me by Lloyd Shales. I have come up with a simplified wing design that will use tissue and balsa but I am going to try another material for the Winglets. I’m going to drop the shim and change the tailplane angle. Using a toothpick grove and this alternate wing mounting method, I think the glue dry time will be less critical. The tail planes will be an alternate material with partial spars. There will be an elevator and a rudder!

I’m doing a workshop this weekend so if the design shapes up by then I will try the new design.

Stand by for pictures.
