Designed a whole new model.
It is a one-off design called the Rubber Band Plane.
The box structure for the wings slides back and forth. Presently ready to glue into place, the wings/tailfeathers are in the proper location from each other.
The box structure was designed so that the parts that I would normally make, are now included on the main part with a fold line. This saves gluing steps and works like a charm. You can see both of the wing box pieces ready for gluing after scoring and folding the sides:
Still have to do landing gear and install the rubber bands. Wing can slide back and forth, once determine where it needs to be, will tack glue it into position.
The wings on this model are different. The 110lb index is part of the load bearing structure. The skins have three ribs glued in specific spots. The one closet to the wing root also has a double skin laminate it is glued to. The double layer skin with the rib glued at the end creates a box to carry flight loads, there is another rib mid wing and one at the tip.
This creates a series of boxes to carry the flight loads without using a spar.
Will this work? Don't know but fairly strong, can pick the model up at the wing tip.
Here is a photo trying to show the wing ribs, only the mid wing and end are visible.
The fuselage is the rolled paper tube.
Using 110# Index to make the model 3 each 11x17 sheets are needed. 1-sheet of 20# 11x17 bond copy paper was rolled into a tube to encase the rubber band.
Plan to go with 2-each 3/16" rubber bands at first. 6" prop, but can go to 8" special once get the landing gear is done.
