Visit to the Trenton RCAF Air Museum

[Frank v B]

We (my wife, visiting sister and I) visited the Trenton RCAF Air Museum last week and have dinner with our son.  He is in the RCAF (logistics Officer) and works in Trenton.

The air museum is a great place to visit.  It has a full size Halifax Bomber inside and many mothballed full size craft outside.  Some like the Spitfire are full size fibreglass models.

Photo report:
01- CF100 Canuck
05- CF104 Starfighter
07- Mig 21
08- Grumman Tracker- for Andy
10- The Grumman Tracker- took this photo to see if it had wash-out in the wing.
11- close-up on the wing on a Tracker.  The moving parts equal the area of the fixed parts.
16- CF101 Voodoo
18- Hawker Hunter- for Simon H.
23- T-33 for Michael, David and Glenn.
25- me standing in front of a DC 3.  For Glenn and Michael.

Hummm... Sperwer at 35%... or perhaps a 1/5 scale... could that work...  Plans available

Gee!  My Tracker wreckage doesn't look so bad after all!!

Thanks @Frank v B

PS  What's your estimate of the washout and incidence of the wing?

[Frank v B]

Andy,

re: "PS  What's your estimate of the washout and incidence of the wing?"

There was a little.  Less than I thought- maybe a degree or two.
As a comparison, the Northrop flying wing* had 7 degrees.
