Re: MINIMOA 1/4 SCALE
Finally, a chance to get some action pics of the Minimoa in her new livery...

Re: MINIMOA 1/4 SCALE
Next up: a 1/4 scale version of the oldest surviving Minimoa HB-282. The principal differences are:
1: Lowered dihedral
2: Smaller rudder
3: Schempp-Hirth style upper & lower airbrakes
4: Blown canopy
The plan will be suitably modified for anyone wishing to build this variant...

The modified rudder is quite straightforward...

Re: MINIMOA 1/4 SCALE
In a bit of a quandary regarding the canopy. My nr. 3rd scale version had the scale brass tubing framework, but it had to be retained with non-scale brass hinges. As I'm reluctant to give up the practical benefits of magnet-retention, I've opted for a wooden frame instead. The good new is...the Skylark canopy has come trumps again!

Re: MINIMOA 1/4 SCALE
The laminated canopy frame seems to have worked out OK in the end. This is about as far as I can go now until a new Skylark canopy arrives (I made a bog of the last one!)

Re: MINIMOA 1/4 SCALE
There must be a global shortage of Skylark canopies by now
