Chuckies
From Dave Camp
This page is dedicated to R/C Chuckies and will carry pictures, design information and results of the various chuckie series run by WSA.
If you are looking for a design suitable for the WSA series then how about the Terminator? A design by the Charles River Radio Control Soarers in the States. They suggest that from their experience the wing section should be changed to SD7080, otherwise it is a good starting point. Follow this link to view comprehensive design and construction information.
Look at the UK F3K web site here. Also look at Martin Godden's web site here.
Alternatively have a look at the DJ Aerotech web site, they have a good range of chuckies available, I think the Chrysalis would be a good design for WSA events.
If you want to design your own then read the article contributed by Nigel Bennett, he provides his thoughts on chuckie design.
Here are a few pictures of Chuckies currently in WSA:
