Tail and radiator

There is no data regarding the tail structure, so we are guessing based on the influence of the skeleton that appears on the outside. The structure of the side radiator is also just a guess as there are only vague photos.

尾翼構造は資料がないので外観に出る骨格の影響を元に推測しています。
サイドのラジエータの構造も不明瞭な写真しかないので想像です。

Added framework and side radiators (Almost an imaginary drawing)

I guessed the structure of the pipe frame considering the weight of the engine. Since it is a racer, there are fewer rubber bushes on the engine mount. I needed a little curve in the frame to avoid the cylinder and supercharger, etc. I emphasized it a little too much, so I plan to fix it. I considered several ideas to connect it to the anchor in the center frame, but this shape was the most reasonable, and moreover, it resembled the frame for Renault’s inverted V engine.

エンジンの重量を考慮してパイプフレームの構造を推測しました。
レーサーなのでエンジンマウントのラバーブッシュは少なめです。
シリンダーや過給器などを避けるため少しフレームにカーブが必要でしたす少し強調しすぎたので修正予定です。
中央の骨格構造にあるアンカーに接続するようにいくつかの案を考証しましたが、この形が一番無理がなく、しかもルノーの倒立V型エンジン用のフレームに似ています。

  2. Adjustment of engine position and cowling shape
  3. Float position (slightly lowered and the back half slightly thicker. The bottom fin has not been installed yet, so it looks thinner than in the photo))
  4. Adjust the position of the base of the wing
  5. The tail has been made slightly lower and wider both front and rear, and the rudder in particular has been extended rearward while emphasizing its curvature.
  6. The main wing attachment angle was changed from 2.5 to 2.3 degrees.

Comparison and adjustment of photos and drawings

I’ve gone ahead and sorted out the differences by overlaying the drawings and photos. The lens is about 55mm, give or take. Made a few adjustments like shifting the cockpit forward by roughly 15cm from the drawing and moving the floats back by around 10cm. Also, nudged the back end of the aircraft up by approximately 10 centimeters and dropped the horizontal tail down by about 5cm.

図面と写真を重ね合わせて相違点を整理した。 レンズは約55mmです。 コックピットを図面より約15cm前方に移動し、フロートを約10cm後方に移動するなどの調整を行いました。 また、機体後端を約10センチ押し上げ、水平尾翼を約5センチ下げた。
