ANd I know that is how most of these silly projects get started, but I wont begin sleeping again unless this project gets started. So probably not your typical airplane on these forums, but I have an AW-2 prop, an engine mount for a ASZ 62 radial, and the steel fuse (which will require significant customization to make it work, and want to throw it in the 20 year blender and have a full size f8f bearcat when I am finished. I also want to use wood as the spar material.... which leads me to my question. What sort of equation would give me the spar dimensions I need for a 3500 pound aircraft at +/-10gs? In all my flying I have never exceeded more than 3gs, so I doubt that I'd need all that, but I would sure like a good safty cusion.
A pleasure to join the forum, and I hope that I can add as much as I recieve...
