Scale Soaring UK

Now you’re talking......1/2 scale is the future!

Still building my 1/2 scale ORLIC, covering bits at the back end, want to fix servos ect and test before covering fuzz
Has any body used tig welding wire for rudder control?
1/2 scale pilot done ,,,

Be interested to see how you created your 1/2 scale pilot, as I need to do one for next year.
Would think that Tig wire is not as good as piano wire for your controls, but that's just a guess.

Hi John,
1st scale me down , head hands and feet.
2nd 1year old kids cloths , about 48% , fill with shaped foam.
Paint head ect. Simples!

I am looking at various projects. but will be starting some time in Autumn of 2018. I need a bit of a rest after the fox and asw 27 build. so far it maybe a 1/3 asg 29 with carbon wing or maybe a szd cobra .

Starting to draw up plans for a Scanlan 1 about my third attempt at this. Not sure which version of the wing to go with at the moment though.

Shame When u get older, need the rest

Quack, quack

I've started a 1/3 scale Swallow. A very happy new year to all, and good flying.

I have been amusing myself for the last week or so by building a 1/4 scale retract from the plans available on this website. It all went better than I expected and, after a little tinkering and fettling, it seems to work perfectly. It is yonks since I last did any proper "engineering" so I was quite surprised and gratified. Now all I need is a model to attach to it.

Where did you find the plans Brian?
Was it in one of the threads, or in the hints & tips section as I haven’t spotted it yet.
