1/3 Scale Ka3 - Another one! With a difference :)

(1/4) > >>

Fred:
Alright, good to be back in the workshop gluing some wood!
So, here is the build of my modified 1/3 scale Ka3.
The main change compared to the previous one, is the new profile, a HQ 3012, a re-designed wing tip, and a few bits and bobs following customer's comments  :D

So, here we go, nice warm up, with the wings.

All the wood is cut :



And all the parts removed from their sheet:



Dry fit test of the new wing tips  :D



And the build start :



Spars are 8x8 in pine

2 degrees diedhral





Aileron's LE are closed:



Servo frame:



Sub spars(?) in 5x5 pine:



Root rib





And the TE in 5x5 (plywood sheeting will then be rolled over as usual



And weights to set it down while evrything dry.

Tomorrow, next wing, and wing tips.. And it will be time to remove the wing from their jig to work on the other side.
I hope to have them done by Friday, as I would like to start the fuselage next week.

Stay tuned for more  :D

tu vas avoir une escadrille :mrgreen:

Fred:
When you love, you don't count!  :P  :mrgreen:

Funny enough, I don't have any Ka3 in my current fleet as I gave them away!

Wanted to do these changes for a while now. Hope to have it flown by the end of the month.

erwan:
I think new profil is a good idea , the old profil haven't good performances

Fred:
Ah no, performance were good with the old one (remember the thermal flight in 2008?  :D )
But that left room for improvements  :D

By the way, I said HQ3012.. Just checked, and it's a 3512!  :oops:
