  • ANNOUNCEMENT: The State College Radio Control club will meet on March 4, 7 PM, in this classroom. As I said earlier, attending one meeting of the SCRC is part of your grade, so this will make it very easy for you. The agenda is:
      1. Welcome -- Lyle Long
      2. A brief description of the SCRC Club. -- Al Jones
      3. Conduct SCRC business. -- Jon Polay
      4. The Aero Class and Model Overview -- Lyle Long and Students
      5. Presentation of Model Aircraft Engines and Use by the Aero Dept. -- Cengiz Camci
      6. Tour of Engine Test Facility -- Cengiz Camci
      7. Use of the Great Planes Flight Simulator -- Lyle Long, Jon Polay
  • Today we will start building the wings of the airplane.
  • The instructions for the wing start on page 5 of the plans.
  • Go slow, read the instructions twice before you start building. You don't want to make any mistakes here. The wings are very important and need to be built well.
  • There are four possible wings that can be built:
    • 42 inch with dihedral
    • 42 inch with polyhedral
    • 50 inch with dihedral
    • 50 inch with polyhedral
    You can build which ever one you want. But it would be nice to have a few examples of each.
