Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while trying to push myself over the wanting stage to the doing stage. I've a set of 2S plans for several years, and since coming home from Oshkosh last week, I am eager to get doing. Had an opportunity to talk to and look at Joe Horton's plane - thanks Joe, good job on the impromptu class. Was really hoping to have a chance to talk to Mark L, but the weather delay and my having to babysit 3 kids didn't quite work out.
I want to start laying out my fuselage. After reading most of Mark's site, I have a couple questions. Should I plan to add 1 more 14" bay aft of the spars to increase stability? If so, it seems I should add forward of the spars to cancel out the extended arm - if so any recommendations? Lastly today, I'd like to increase the width by 3-4 inches. Should I add that to all the width dimensions, or just in the area of the cockpit? I plan to slide the widest part of the fuselage back to the shoulder area as Mark suggested as well. Any info, suggestions or ideas welcome. I would love to hear from anyone having incorporated any of these changes. Am starting to layout on CAD now - boy are those plans lacking some needed info! Enjoyed following this forum, look forward to participating, building and flying. Thanks all. Tim Caughron caugh...@bak.rr.com
