Re: Falke T-61A Cliff Charlesworth Plans.
There is only the right wing plan in the kit, so I took mine to Officeworks and had them scan and flip the page with the wing on it.
Placed against the original, there is only a millimetre in it.
Some of the guys on RCSB are reporting plan sets with both wings drawn and the wings being 15 mm different lengths!
I couldn't be happier with the result.

Great to see this coming on well Max, especially after all the angst at the start!

Re: Falke T-61A Cliff Charlesworth Plans.
The left wing is coming along.
The second one is easier - not so much thinking time involved.
Cheers

Beware! The chances of going wrong are also much higher on the second one - for the same reason!Max Wright wrote: ↑03 Jan 2021, 06:52

Re: Falke T-61A Cliff Charlesworth Plans.
OK. I've assembled the second wing to the point where I can attach it to the bit of the fuselage that I have built up.
I figured that I should see if there are any issues which need my attention while I can still make adjustments.
It all fits pretty well, except for where the back of the right wing meets the fuselage rib. There is a bit of a gap, but I can glue on some more balsa and sand it back until it's fair. A simple job.
I went back and had a look at the photo shoot I did on the prototype and I must say - it all looks pretty good.
The sweep of the wings and the dihedral look very convincing - as do the cranks.
Now I can complete the covering, ailerons and spoilers and make the wing bags for protection.
Cheers
