![]() "rckchp" wrote in message oups.com... Several years ago a Sonerai lost a wing making a high G turn during an air race conducted by the Formula V Air Racing Association, resulting in a fatal crash. The Formula V group then hired a professional aeronautical engineer to conduct a design study and and a wing strengthen modification was the result, which was made mandatory for all racing Sonerais. You may wish to contact the Formula V people for details : http://www.formulav.com/ I think this post is very telling, in why you have not had any other posts answering your questions. It is a very risky procedure, to start major design modifications, or substitutions to a critical structure, like a wing. If it fails, you are probably dead. No one here is likely to be very comfortable having any part of advising, or being an accomplice of such a substitution of such magnitude and scope. So although I think it is a bit of a cliché, If you have to ask, you don't know enough to be asking. My best advise? Build it as drawn, or find a plan that has what you want, in the original design. -- Jim in NC |
