Short kit

There was a short kit in which I did the cad work and an associate did everything else. The kit contained laser cut wood, carbon spars and carbon fuselage pod. Plans were up to the buyer to secure. Sorry, I don't think there are any more apart from my private stock of two unbuilt kits. Don't despair though, it is exceptionally easy to scratch-build the plane without the carbon pod. In fact, prior to that short kit, it took me less than two hours to accurately hand cut the parts through a copy of the plans. -PJ On Tue, 6 Jun 2006 13:37:23 -0700 (PDT) Fishie <cmfishie@...> wrote: > Sorry for the dumb question...but what exactly is a >short kit? > > Thanks, > > chris > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?

There is no short kit available but it does sound like a good idea. The problem is that most of us have modified the design to add a rib on each side to come up with an almost 35" span wing. When you do this, the hole in each rib for the spar changes position. I'd rather see the 35" span version made into a short kit. I'd also like to see if the Drela AG36 airfoil would give the bug better penetration. I enjoy the Bug, but even at 4 ounces rtf weight, it does not have good penetration, even in light winds.
