Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] RE: airfoils
Alec,
Thanks, I'll try it out at work, where we have a sheet metal shop and
journeymen who've been there, done that. I still have to get the shaft
married to the plane, but there's got to be a way. I'll skip the oil unless I
get into weight problems. Ours just had weep holes top and bottom, flooded
for diving and drained on your tennis shoes afterwards. Never a problem. If
you do this again, try the side plates. Just sort of radiused up front and
rectangular with radiused corners at the trailing edge, maybe 4 inches high.
The engineers told us that the side plates were as important as the airfoil
shape.
