John I looks gorgeous. I just hope I can make the aluminum one look half as good. Frank ... Frank Marsh M & W Engineering, Inc. 3880 Dividend Drive Suite 100 ...
John The 18 1/2' x 16' that I need to fit the wing I have is that 18 1/2' overall length or wheelbase? Frank smith smith <johhnysrocket2003@...> wrote: ...

Using the 240" overall fuselage length that you have for wingnut 3 I figure the rear axel centerline is 185 3/4" from the front of the fuselage. Is that...
John, It looks fast just sitting still! It's a real beauty! Be sure to include your work on the hull saddle for the plank. It should be interesting with the...
Thanks. I only recessed the plank about halfway in the saddle. the saddle consists of 1/2'' baltic birch ply nested in between doubled up bulkheads. I attached...
John, The new fusilage is looking great!! I'm sure you'll get alot less drag. Did you happen to test the shape in your wind tunnel to get a comparison with the...
Bill, Yes the shape is based off what I learned earlier in the wind tunnel. http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingboats/photos/view/31a8?b=2 The link to the...
Hey John, I just got on your site for the first time. Great job. It looks like you a following the Jacobs' model. Excellent, and plans too! It is very...
Thanks Dale. I'm working as fast as possible on the new boat. I'm all done varnishing the fuselage spring board and runner plank. I need to mount hardware and...
I was thinking of grabbing Lance and coming up for a day visit. What do you think of that? I haven't talked to Lance about it, or even Amy. I think he is...

Wow, someone has a lot of time to dream and analyze. An impressive bit of invention. But a lot to build to get up to 120 feet. Being a hang glider pilot I can...
The latest, highest performance hang glider, now being developed in Germany, has the pilot laying down INSIDE the wing! (the ATOS Cage) The performance is...

I've been trying to get up to speed a little more with the rest of the world. I was directed to javafoil which is a free site . Anyone have much experience...
Hi John, I downloaded it last spring and started playing with it. Seems very complete but I didn't give it enough time before summer arrived. I couldn't find a...
Wow, that thing looks like a bee hive. I wonder how it worked. I see you posted that originally. Where did you find that and did it have a name? Deane ... ...
John, In thinking about such a design, wing rotation would be difficult. How sailable would your winged boats be if the wing was not able to rotate (fixed...
The wing has to respond quickly to gusts just like a regular sail . I n my case its much easier and quicker to sheet out the main win rather than adjusting the...
I think there was afew madr . I think one of them was call Finch vector or something like that. Its mentioned in an old iceboating book. ... From: "Williams,...
In that case I would guess the skate sailor has to respond quickly by leaning into the wind since he can't "sheet out". I wonder if our rigid wing was fitted...
We were able to make a file of my main , slotted flap including pivot point with cad program or something like that and load it into java . We tested the...
I would think the wing could rotate while you were inside it. In my case I would end up with a short fat wing to fit my class size. But it would be interesting...
