Mid wing placement — dimension sheet

Sizes: see table below
- A mid wing meets the fuselage at right angles, which wind-tunnel reports favoured for low interference drag (US Naval Institute, Corsair design history).
- With ailerons, McCombs recommends 'essentially 0 deg' effective dihedral for mid-wing and biplane RC models, and 7-8 deg for rudder-only mid-wing models (Model Aviation). That near-neutral roll response suits aerobatic aircraft (Kitplanes).
- A mid wing's spar crosses the fuselage, which can be awkward; the Corsair's designers avoided a long, heavy landing gear by bending the wing instead (USNI).
- The file is a reference example built by Xem Studio from the numbers above. Sizes the sources do not fix are illustrative; scale the example to your own vehicle.
