Hi all
I've been working on a Pober Pixie 2" stretch in length and height of the cockpit, I call it the Dixie Parasol. I haven't made any calculations yet of the airframe, but plan on it and may have questions for those in the know. The Pegasus O-100 is the engine of choice and the modifications are in CAD, no tube has been cut as yet and may not ever, we'll see.
While admitting that I haven't spent more time than a quick search on this topic I have a question:
What changes would you make (if any) to the wing construction or airfoil? Stay with the wood or could this be an opportunity for a new metal wing... it was designed with the Clark Y, my plans are from '91 or so and have a flat bottom, maybe there is something better.
Comments and suggestions welcomed...
Thanks
