Wing tips, Rebel,Elite & Moose
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:30 pm
To all builders,
I am still around. I have been detained with family matters for the past 2 months that took all of my time. With the passing of my Father in Law and the care of my mother in law I have had no time for anything. I do apologize to all of you. To those that have orders with me, I am sorry for the delays. We all will go through this eventually.
It is now freezing cold in mid Michigan, USA. The Canadians have sent a cold front that has froze everything. Winter has begun early.
I am now back into the shop, am still putting heat in and expect to get down to making parts. Please be patient, I am not going anywhere and the new shop will be more productive eventually.
Now on to the size of wing tips. Those that have the Moose and Elite, I am still in the process of completing the molds. I will not make tips the size of MAM's. I cannot supply a part that changes the length of the wing that much. I am not sure of the exact size, have no test results and will not ask MAM for those. My tips will be Hoerner style and will extend past the aileron about 6 inches. I believe the standard tip is about 2 inches past the aileron.
I do not know what the results will be as I have not had them tested. I will report those when they happen.
Bob P stated it correctly that I was informed by Darryl to make the Rebel parts as close to the factory size and it would not cause any problems. There is the arm/moment and leverage concern. I am not an engineer and do not claim to be. I will not speculate any further than that. With all the e-mails lately their is lots of talk.
I think you all know that the wing on all 3 planes are the same in cord and thickness, just longer and different aileron positions.
Finally, please do not send any deposits at this time. I do not want to take your funds and not be able to supply the parts timely. I am still in a back log as it is. It will get better.
Should anyone have photos of the Moose or Elite wing with or without tips please sent those to me. I need to verify the exact differences in the Rebel and the Moose/Elite wing. If you have a Moose or Elite with any tips on them I would also be interested in those too.
Please respond directly to my e-mail on the photos, and do not post them on the rebel-builder page.
Again, a special thanks to a lot of people and their support in my products.
Let the talk continue, I love to read the e-mail.
