Hey guys,
I'm venturing into unknown territory here and starting my first composite bagged wing build. After my mostly successful experience with the Z1 wingtip fins and the desire for a Gizmo style plank after seeing some at Sunset, I have designed a plank with some help from Nate. This is my first time designing a plane and having cores cut so we will see what happens but I am excited to learn along the way.
I decided to name it the Mini Buzz and it will be a 30" Blended wing plank with a center vertical fin much like the Gizmo I took inspiration from. The vertical fin will be removable and I havent decided yet if the wing will be one piece or able to split into two. It will be using a PW51 airfoil and will be bagged in carbon fiber.
Ill try to post updates on how the build goes and any questions/problems I run into. Pics are of the 3d model I made for measurements and a cardboard cutout so I could hold it for size reference.
Special thanks to Nate for all the help so far!
