So I'm thinking of mocking up an airframe that I've been designing and thought I would ask for opinions.
The real airframe will eventually be constructed of 4130 tubing with an aluminum tailboom.
I've thought of 2 different approaches to mock up a full scale airframe.
1. Wood :
A. Wooden dowels glued up in place of the 4130 tubing.
B. 5"-6" pvc pipe for the aluminum tailboom.
2. EMT....electrical metal tubing :
A. EMT brazed in place of the 4130 tubing.
B. 5"-6" pvc pipe for the aluminum tsilboom.
Should I go wooden dowel or EMT ?
