Hi all, my first post on here. I am drawing up plans to build a 1/4 RC model of an A6M3 and need details on the thickness taper of the wings (as viewed from the front, not from above).
I have a drawing which shows the thickness at 500mm out from the centre line of the fuselage to be 14.4%, increasing to 15% at the centreline of the 20mm canon and then decreasing down to 9% out towards the tip. i.e the thickness does not taper constantly from root to tip.
What I need to know is if the the change in taper is on both the upper and lower wing surfaces or is the lower wing surface a straight line from root to tip and the upper surface "kinked". I hope you can understand my desciption.
Many thanks, Rob.
