Model RV-7
Units Feet
Description Created this to get a feel for using hinges in openVSP. To rotate control surfaces, select the hinge parent component, select motion, then adjust the rotate feature. The ailerons are linked, so only adjust the Starboard hinge. Most of this model is made to match the RV-7 3 view however detailed measurements are not available for this craft online. The wing airfoil is set as a NACA 23012 for ease, yet the real airfoil is 23013.5.
