What you will need in addition to complete the Fuselage/tail/wing:
Miles High Fuselage:
This fuselage is designed by Steve Haley and aimed at the F3-RES /F5L-RES competition pilots. Although designed around the Miles wing, the brief was to create a ‘cost-effective’ universal fuselage pod & tail unit to fit all 2m glider wings. To minimise postage/stock holding costs, you must provide your own carbon boom; details can be found below. There is no requirement for a plan to construct this fuselage as we provide full building guidelines. This is one of the few part kits where we offer the original Miles building plan if using our wing rib set to construct the wing.
Miles Wing:
The three-piece wing is a built-up rib and spar construction with strong spruce spars and balsa sheer webs throughout the span. The polyhedral tip panels are joined to the flat centre panel by mm steel joiners or bespoke carbon joiners can be applied to save weight. The polyhedral layout offers great stability in flight and for the electric version, we recommend the builder increases the tail-plane area by approximately 10% to improve overall handling. A ballast tube (not provided) is installed in the centre panel.
The leading edge is fully sheeted; the aft section of the ribs is capped with balsa strips. This offers more than enough torsion stiffness. A spoiler should be installed on the top surface of the centre panel to ease up the landing approach and rescue from high altitudes. The wing airfoils are flat-bottomed for easy build-up. They are as thin as possible but as thick as necessary to supply enough strength in terms of bending. The airfoil transition shows 8.7% thickness at the root and 7.8% at the tip with an average camber of 2.2%.
