I've just watched your video and now noticed when it was done.....I'm wandering how many more flights you've had with this piece of history......I still find it hard to believe where aviation has come from in a very not long time ..... thankyou for sharing 😎
Sadly, just a few. Whilst flying it in a competition, the engine - an OS 4-cylinder 4 stroke - failed and it spun in with no time for recovery. It was a magnificent write off!! Thanks for your interest.
I have just got the plans for a 1/6th scale version of this aircraft and on the plan it shows a wing building jig but for the life of me I cant work it out, how did you use the jig? Many thanks
Good Luck with the wings! As for the 'jig', may I refer you to this thread on the RCSB site where I describe my dealings with that item. The post can be seen at .... www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12084 If any doubts remain, please comment. Don Coe
@@doncoe2 thanks Don, on my plans for the 1/6th scale version there is a drawing of a piece of timber the shape of the underside of the wing section and I believe that I must lay first the capping strip then leading edge then a spare then a balsa insert another spare and trailing edge and the capping . I assume that you make a couple of these jigs and connect them together with some stock (like a cradle) and build the wing. Only guessing. Shame about your beautiful model.
@@1953PE Just think of the shape of the underside of the wing. You'll need a template - not a jig, No, I didn't make two, just one, the length of the greatest span. You can see the template I made on the RCSB posts.
