I scratch built a plane called a MiniBat based on some plans that were free in one of the RC mags. Unfortunatley I caught a post last night when landing/crashing and smashed the leading edge of the wing quite badly. I need to build another wind but can find the plans so the question is can I use any similar size wing?

Has anyone got any plans for a wing for a speed 400 size model, straight wing about 38" span

I would have thought that you could work out the wing from what's left of it?

Have a look at this, I think the guy that posted last emailed the plans to someone - post a sniff sniff I broke my wing & I need the plans type message & I'm sure you'll be sent a copy by someone /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

cheers soundman, I have just posted a reply to get the plans mailed to me, as soon as I have them i will PM them to you. I had been meaning to sign up to that forum for ages but now this has made me do it.

got the plans but it is in 8 BM<P files, pretty unreadable really, do you still want it?

Yeah please.

I can download them from somewhere if it's easier:)

If not email them to me - I think my max email size is 20mb so it should work fine.

I may be able to clean them up some as well.
