I sold Bert the tiger because my knackered back wouldn’t cope with big models any more .I flew it for years on a zenoah 38 and it was great .The prop was scale size (22 6 ) It flew scale like in most conditions .It was a bit tricky in a force 5 wind though .

I chickened out on trying it with the straight drive G38

I have to say that I’ve sold my Stampe that began this thread 🥺...I got involved in a part exchange for a 1/3 scale Tigermoth.

 

Im glad I started this thread and it’s been great fun doing it. 

I flew my 1/3 scale moth this year, got the G38 on reduction drive but have a Valach 60 to try in it

There in the bin with the rest of the fuz

I think they might be on here if you still back 

[Precedent Stampe 1/4 Scale]

It was from a very old kit

 

I’ve only know them from the old 80’s SLEC catalogue the die crushed type and the later machined kit that’s now available from SLEC

Most fly with down trim applied 

mid you troll back for about a week you will see comments about mine flying with up trim

 

I have removed the tail and covering so I can see how it was installed.

Hi Bert.sad to see the demise of your stampe. As soon as the comentator said stearman you machine dived into the ground. Very sad

Bill

Yeah cheers,

I did me well,

It was the first plane that I had ever flown at a show.

It taught me loads and turns out from comments I received at the show, my Antics although not to everyone favour have been quite a inspiration and encouraged others to join in and have a go,

 

just goes to show it doesn’t have cost loads to have some fun

We went to wobbly wheels with a few more this year

the opening slot was very busy on day1

over ten flying not sure exactly but it was busy.

 

I recently sold one of my Hannibal’s to my mate Rob Staines as I was expecting to purchase a similar looking plane that was slightly bigger, but that’s a story best forgotten,

 

Our newest Stampe and Hannibal recruit Rick,completed his first show with a Hannibal, next show he’ll be bringing out his Stampe

 

Alan Page flew his Stampe that I recently upgraded the engine and had a great time by the look of it

 

As did my son William flying a Hannibal and His own Stampe in great gusto 

 

I flew Robs Staines Hannibal on the first slot and his Stampe on the second slot, was good fun with both and I do get to fly them both at my local club on a regular basis so know their quirks 

 

As for the recently re worked G-Bert 

think it must have heard that I was retiring it after the weekend and it said hello to a bin,

I was in a dilemma what to do with it as got to get PLM out more

 

might have a couple more Stampe lovers soon.

Pleased so far just need to do some forward planning on actually converting one of the Stampe’s 

 

was thinking of using one of the screw holes for the original tangs for placement 

 

temp fitted to my Moth wing just to see

[Precedent Stampe 1/4 Scale]

Yep I know the rivets aren’t as full size

It’s more for practical use than scale

Little progress

Bert, if you have been cutting all that by hand, I bow to thee👏👏

I suppose you will pin the inserted metal part to the strut and not just rely on glueing it all together   

Soz to disappoint 

I used a CNC mill to cut them out

they will be pinned and bonded,

However the cross bracing should hold them In compression so probably doesn’t need to be to fussy,

 

Well that is if Practical Scale are correct about there 1-3 scale struts only needing pinning at the bottom 

[Precedent Stampe 1/4 Scale]

Have made a slight bit of progress with my quest to do away with the tangs and rigging each time

[Precedent Stampe 1/4 Scale]

Had a quick look but not sure how to find it via the link provided,

Do you have to register to view it

Down the pub by any chance

The variation will be determined how the plane is built 

 

The amount of incidence may vary as to what  and where packers are place during the glue drying

 When I did my RYA day skipper course the way to remember side and colour was,

 

The drunken sailor left the red port wine behind 

so port is red in colour and the left hand side ,

that’s all well and good for me but others have different ideas

Hope the following helps you out
