Hi, do me a favour, put this on Outerzone for other people, he won't accept it from me. Thanks, Geoff. I'm busy making my second set of wings

Hi FlyinFlynn, been looking all over for you to say thank you. The guy I use for printing printed the ribs out for me, but as they are in red, he has no access to the same software that you use, so can't change the colour to black. The wing ribs profile is right as far as I am concerned, if I want to put wash in or out, I can do it on the next pair of ribs I make if I need to. I have built a wing using your templates, the trailing edge was spot on, so was the spacing. I put a 3 32nd spar top and bottom an inch and a quarter in for the leading edge sheeting. One thin line is very easy to concentrate on for cutting and you know it's right when there's no ink on the scrap bit or the rib. If you do do the modification to black, a nice touch would be to put a center line in. Hope I'm not being a pain and perhaps you may consider sending a copy to Outerzone. You don't happen to know the weight of the old 225 deak battery pack? Yes I am that old, in fact I used to sit on my Dad's transmitter to stop the wind from blowing it over with it's 9' aerial😂. Thanks, Geoff

Hi, sorry I haven't got your name, the templates are absolutely spot on. All ribs now cut out and the building boards been cleared off. I just have one question, as I see it, there is 2 ways to do it, build the wings the right way up and put 1/2 inch dihedral in or build the wing upside down and because of the taper in the wing ie the top of the wing is flat, this gives a taper on the bottom of the wing. Thanks, Geoff

Wow, that was quick, thank you. I'm going with a built up wing, 1/16th balsa ribs, sheeted leading edge, standard old school. Would anybody mind if I build them and they are ok then can I send them to outerzone so you can help other folk. Will let you know the outcome in a couple of days. Must rush, am off to the printers, Geoff

Yes, mixing with the tx, cox td 020. The model below is even stranger, it has no wing ribs as such, just 1/6th balsa bent over the spar. Polly may be right, we'll see. Geoff Great_All_American_Backyard_Canard_oz6149_article.pdf

Good evening , I'm not new to building, my problem is I've done my best. I've cut out the foam wing and sliced it up to achieve 8 ribs, but not usable. My cutting skills have deteriotated with age, should have stuck to parallel cord. Any help apreciated and as for the choice of model there is always one in the club who doesn't conform to normal people. Thanks again. Geoff Bugs_Ear_oz13055.pdf

the one i have has a crack in i thank Geoff

HI at the size of models I am making 22" to 36" span. There are not a lot out there 3" long. And on unless I see it in my hand I can not tell if it is what I want. So I want to have a go Dexter has been helping. Geoff.

Andy is that a plaster cast plug ?

Hi the PETG is on order as you will see I am in a bit smaller size than you. Club 20 and now Club 020

Good evening. I have looked on Sarik in the past and they don't seem to do what used to be called universal canopies with different sizes, but i will give Trent a call tomorrow, A3 sheets are quite cheap so i will have a word with them. I do want to mould my own to find out if i can. More satisfaction. I will let you know how i get on? Thanks Geoff

Hi, I am in the process of building some 1/2 A models for my Grandson, who wants one with a canopy so he can put a proper pilot in ( smiley) I was going to go on the lines of a plunge mold, but before i start, what is the best material to use and where can you get it from? I don't really want to use the pop bottle method. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Geoff Maximum length will be about 5"

thats fab iwill pm you geoff
