Subject: Larger bug?
Has anyone built the Bug larger than the plans? I was thinking that
the design was strong enough, that if I added 1 extra rib and kept
all the wood thicknesses/CF diameters the same that I'd actually be able
to get a lower wingloading (assuming same equipment).
Has anyone tried this? I think I may have to extend the nose a tiny bit to get
the plane to balance, but besides that it should work great!
I've also got a shipment of contest balsa coming to try making a really
light bug as drawn.
Anyways - those are my ideas. I'd be interested in your comments.
