In Response To: Launching: Launch Day Picture *PIC* (Les Cheeseman)
Les, That is beautiful. Great job!
You mentioned that it is 15 feet and 6 inches. I am very curious, did you scale the design following the procedure in Nick's book? I want to build a Guillemot and I was thinking about using the equations in Nick's book to scale the plans back to 16 feet. I already did the calculations and made the spreadsheet, but I was somewhat concerned that the handling would be unpredictable if I changed Nick's design. So I am really wondering how this change worked out and what procedure that you followed to make the change?
Thanks.
