It also moves the wing itself though, so the aerodynamic reference points (ie, where the lift happens) move too. I assume that the real thing accounted for this, and if the model is true then it will also benefit from that design! |

That is going to be one awesome model! Looking forward to seeing it fly. How's the model weight looking? |

Cheers Dean! So far, up to the pics below, it's just on 40g. I'm aiming at 60g completed. |

Hi Hein, I have a collection of many thousand 3 view drawings. You can go here though: http://www.the-blueprints.com/ and register for free to get access to the downloads. Almost anything you can think of is there. |
