ASK13 1/3 Scale**
A short kit of a new design from Jilles Smits arrived today, so no excuse for idle fingers over the next few months
A lo..ot of laser cut parts ((all bagged) & several drawing sheets covering fuselage, wings, tail, canopies (full & cabriolet), airbrakes etc. on separate sheets. (Drawings arrive folded, but I like to roll them for use).
Conventional woodie construction with 0.4mm ply wing D box skins & 0.6mm skins on the relevant fuselage parts.
Build options include choice of canopy type and with/without nose wheel.
I should receive a bundle of strip wood for spars etc. tomorrow, so can make a start - probably on the tail feathers.

Re: ASK13 1/3 Scale
First up on the building board is the Stabiliser which slots together to form the structure shown below. Just needs a couple of spruce spars & tips to be to be added, plus 0.4mm skins to complete.
Two thin wing servos fit into the centre section from below, driving each elevator half separately.

Re: ASK13 1/3 Scale
This is one for me to watch, Peter.
Is that Finnish registration on the prototype, Cliff?
Cheers

Re: ASK13 1/3 Scale
Yes, I have those pics. Have tried to contact the club to see if they have any more including cockpit detail but alas no answer. I called the club on the phone but nobody spoke English and my French is at best crap! If you have an in there and can get some more info I would be extremely grateful.patte de loup wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 07:35 Some other pics of this glider here:

Pretty in pink!
I liked the K13 a lot, it was a nice old lady to fly. I must build one some day.
I will watch this build with interest.
