  • Question does the distance matter? As in how far away the wing core is from the "point/pivot" that the line is attached to on the other side.

  • @GreenAce92 Yes it does matter. The length from the pivot point decides the shape and size of the tip chord.

    Cheers,

    David

  • hi, whats the wire (nichrome?), wire gauage, foam type, amps, volts.?

    great job!

  • Hi! The wire is "Nicrothal 80", 0.3 mm thick. The foam is bluecore/fanfold. For this type of foam 2.5A though the wire gives a good cutting speed. The voltage will vary depending on the wire length.

    Good luck!

  • Hej

    Vad får du materialet du skär ifrån?

    Var får du tråden du skär med ifrån?
