Fred:

Alan_Perse:
Looks Great Fred :D :D . God your building it fast. The next time I build a model from wood its gona have to be CNC or Laser cut.
Peter:
Looks good Fred - nice strong wing. 12mm seems a lot for the wing joiner on a model this size - but I guess it its designed for edge of the envelope stuff!
IceWind:
<- This guy loved it flying!!!
Great news if the plans will be available, this seems a really nice plane.
Fred excellent building! :)
Fred:
Thanks guys for the comments ! :oops: :D
Alright so, time to finish the glider !
All the stab ribs are made of 3mm plywood. same principle as the wing really, nothing really serious here !
So, first, cut the ribs according to plan
The spar is made of a 6mm carbone tube (5mm inside). To have a clean cut on the carbone tube, put some masking tape on it, draw the line, and cut with a small saw.
Then, it's just a matter of putting the ribs on the tube, check that everything is straight according to the plan, and glue everything with CA, or PVA ;)
The smaller tube is made of 3mm carbone tube (2mm inside)
After 2 minutes, you should get that :
Left thing to do now is the sheeting. Sheeting is made with 1mm balsa. I kept mine plain, but you can put lighting holes in the sheeting if you want to gain a few grams (and less lead on the nose too...)
Same as the wings really, but smaller :D
And after a good first sanding sanding and the LE glued in place (5mm balsa):
And the final touch, the balsa block at the tips and a final big sanding !
Just curious, fit on thefuselage ...
Perfect ! :)
