That's a shame Brian.
If the maiden flight of my Sabre is successful there is a good chance the design will become the 2020 mass build for the PSSA.

Preston Brower's 3rd scale Rhonsperber from our website's free plan is coming along nicely...

Motley built most of his 5th scale Flamingo whilst the missus was away...(She was only gone ten minutes!)

At this stage the Steinadler's AUW is 10lbs, ballasted to put the cg on the wing joiner...

Re: Who's Building What 2019
Quick question: Do you reinforce the trailing edge rib connection at all?chris williams wrote: ↑21 Apr 2019, 09:34 At this stage the Steinadler's AUW is 10lbs, ballasted to put the cg on the wing joiner...
Does it twist when its covered?
Oops thats two questions.
Thanks

Re: Who's Building What 2019
The rear of each rib is reinforced with an elongated triangle of 0.8mm ply. The 'D' section holds the wing rigid, so there is usually not distortion of the TE. (Also, I strap a ruddy great Ali straight edge to the TE when adding the top sheeting)

Re: Who's Building What 2019
Also worthy of note: I've used 1.5mm ply for the TE this time, as I had run out of spruce. It will be OK, but spruce has a noticeably greater lateral strength than ply...

Nice to see a rarely modelled glider being made
Re: Who's Building What 2019
A couple of weeks ago I posted pics of a little F86 Sabre that I was building. I have had great fun painting it and all that remains is to fit the aileron servos and balance before the first flight.
The colour scheme used is that of a Canadair F86 Sabre Mk4 flown by 3 Squadron RAFG based at Geilenkirchen, Germany in 1954.
I am now thoroughly looking forward to thrashing it back and forward at low level along my local slope in a good breeze.
