My work on my 701 was unexpected stalled by a surprise deployment to Afghanistan.
I am an engineer, so I have spent quiet a bit of free time thinking about
the 701.
Two things really impress me about the 701...it's lightweight and it's modular
design. As lightweight as it is, it seems like there are areas where you could
take advatage of its modular construction and use carbon fiber to save a few
pounds. Some of the steel pieces like the rudder pedals could be replaced.
If you accounted for the COG shift you might be able to fabricate all the tail
section pieces and flaperons out of carbon fiber. And if you did some honest-to-goodness
engineering, you could switch out the landing gear and make some
aerodynamic struts.
When I get home I might weight the parts and pieces and do some back of the envelope
calculations and see what kind of weight savings a person could expect.
Has anyone else looked into this? I've already finished all the major modules
of the kit, but it seems like it would be an interesting way to continue to
the build/experimentation phase after the airplane is done.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts.
