Update: A few weeks ago the wing broke in halve. I think the 'hard points' or inserts that hold the brass bushes for the M6 screws tha bolt the wing to the fuselage, were too short. When you land on 1 wing halve after a small jump, the force on these inserts is huge due to the leverage effect. So, if you plan to build a wing yourself, I recommend that you make this connection a lot stronger than I did.
Doing the same at the moment, but with a 3d printed cores filled with epoxy foam. :) Is there a reason you kept the Mylars quite far from the leading edge? I was thinking to maybe just have them touch or overlap. Thanks for the documentation, its helping a lot. :)
Is important understand the main foil carrying all load , board ,surfer , ecc . The foil ,specially the connection on fuselage and wings has to be strong , like airplane ,same concept Bye
I would be happy to send you the xls, but I don't know how since I don't have your e-mail?But I wouldn't worry too much about the calculation. It was very riugh, just to get a feel of the amount of stiffness required. I simplified the mast bending to a case of a clamped cantilever beam with a shear load at the end. The wing bending was simplified to a cantilever beam of half-wing-span long, clamped and with a distributed load. Both these loads are not very accurate, so it's really just an estimate. You can find the formula's on most mechanical engineering websites. Hope this helps a bit.
Thanks Ron. dmitrynizh/at/hotmail/com. BTW, I found a pretty good wing bending calc on rcgroups www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1213427-Bagged-wing-layup-spreadsheet. Myself I wrote a simple torsion twist cals (for the mast) assuming elliptic profile.

Great clip thanks. Still trying to picture where exactly the wing broke
Ron Gijzen would you use the Profile again?
Great explanations, thanks ! ...and cute scissors (9:32) :)

Hi Ron, at 3min 7sec you show an Excel spreadsheet that calculates bending. I wonder whether you can share the spreadsheet or post a link. Thanks.
