Slope Soaring / Back on the slope
« on: April 24, 2021, 21:20:05 PM »
At last - back on the slope with a pandemic project - a refurbished model that is 50 years old this year. Those of you of a certain vintage will know exactly what this model is.

How to... / Bending brass sheet
« on: November 23, 2020, 20:41:21 PM »
Anyone any advice on bending brass sheet for a strut point. One right angle bend is easy in the vice, but I need to bend it a second time just 4mm away from the first bend.

Scale / Slingsby Gull

Was in Edinburgh just before Christmas and popped into the Royal Scottish Museum on passing as I knew they had a Slingsby Gull on display - very beautiful and well worth a look.

Anyone up for gliding tomorrow (Bank Holiday Monday) in the Dublin area? I plan to go to Kilakee - wind looks NW. I aim to get there around 11.00am.

Scale / Pilatus B4 build
« on: January 02, 2008, 19:46:26 PM »
Not really a build tread - I work too slowly for that! But a progress report on a Pilatus B4 build from an old Mike Trew plan. As you can see from the photographs, the fuselage is coming on. Half planked (that took a bit of time!) and currently I am working on the controls before planking the rest. Made the tailplane last weekend - it is bolted on. As I have changed the wing section I want to be able to alter the longitudinal dihedral as I suspect that on the plan is too high for the HQ25/12 section I am using. So far so good - but anyone else building from this plan, watch out for F11 - this does not have the correct profile!
Anyway - best wishes to all for the New Year. Scamper - I hope all this talk of DG1000s does not mean you have give up on your B4!!!

Slope Soaring / Sagitta 900
« on: January 27, 2007, 21:47:20 PM »
I have almost finished building this Sagitta 900 after a slow build. The model was originally kitted by Airtronics but I built this one from Dreamcatcher plans and half kit that I got from the US. The fuslage is glass and everything else is built up - 100 inch span and rudder/elevator. Just about ready to go once I have sorted out the spoilers that currently are not retracting properly. Should be ready in the next few weeks for a maiden flight, weather permitting.
