Scale Soaring UK

Hi l am following. Good look with the build. I built a 7.2 meter one I think it's one of the best builds I have done but not without it problems. The main issue was the 3 wing joiners and cg. So pleased with it it is now being re painted in 2k . Best of luck there is a thead .

Thanks Roo.

I saw your build, with shaped fuselage - quite a task !

Fantastic project! Just my cup of tea. I love the subject, love scratch building, love vacuum bagging and my workshop is 2x2 metres so I struggled to produce a 4 metre model.

Martin,
Are you planning foam wings or a built-up structure?
Peter

Nice project Martin, I notice on your first post you intend to vac bag blue foam wings, are you cutting them yourself or do you have a contact?
Can't wait 'til you start the wings, I have a little project rattling around in my head, will love to see how you tackle that part of the build

Wings will be bagged - 106gsm carbon onto XPS foam.

Homemade hot-wire boom and pulley system (blagged from Charlesriverrc.org)

Attached picture of my last model, with bagged wings.

Lovely curved leading edge on that red model. How did you achieve that with a hot wire bow? Did you hot wire cut in sections then blend the joins?
Looking forward to the rest of your thread.

Yes Rog, 3 sections forming the shape, then smooth the leading edge (slightly) - bagged as one.
