Ar-ha! Now I see!
I thought that the parts of the wing I was looking at were inboard, near the wing root. :roll:

All cleaver stuff

Curvy wingtip should have been th giveaway :wink:

i've ordered some wood from the Balsa Cabin and i'm in the process of making a fuselage jig  
so fingers crossed we might be building soon :clap:

[Fred]

By the way...  
Have that done for a while now, still waiting for the first flight.
All EPP, and should be my Nano Floh replacement (even easier to transport everywhere with the 2 parts wings   )





Might be a fun one!  

[Happy Days]

Being all EPP, and having two part wing, how do you set the wing incidence angle. :?:  What I mean is, how do you stop the foam around the incidence pin from compressing or stretching so that the wing doesn’t “wobble” around the wing joiner? :!:

Not sure I’ve explained my question very well here……can’t find the right words this morning. (I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on. :oops: )

Hey Keith,

Well, the wing are joined together with  the classic carbone wing joiner, then slided into the fuselage.
You don't see here here, but then, a plastic screw... well, is screwed from the top, to hold everything together.

Not sure if I'm clear either here ! But this is basix stuff  
Photos of the kit might gives you a clue :

Hey Richard,

Nope, not the same.
The one on the video, as far as I know, is not mass produced, but really easy to reproduce with a basic 3 views  

For mine, I went the easy/lazy way  :oops:

For the other 'batic glider, hopefully some news soon    Sent the files to be cutted already, just waiting for the delivery.

[billscottni]

Richard, it apparently comes from here:

But I can't find any of the translation tools that will do it :!:

[billscottni]

You could try building one this way Richard?

Looks reasonably simple

[billscottni]

Managed to get some work done today.  :shock:

Set up the tail on the KA3
 


And got a bit more done on the mechanics for the cnc foamcutter. It's based on the "La Rustica" plans



Hopefully the weather will stay mild and I can spend more time in the workshop :clap:

[andrew wallace]
