I second that , join a club. Normally there will be somebody that has tx/rx for sale. You know where it comes from. Bas

This forum is not about spelling or grammar , dont worry about it. Bas

Thanks for your input John. Bas

John, if I remember correctly the plan is for built up wings. Sarik do not mention foam wings. Is this your build?. From the sound the model is fitted with an electric motor and what looks like a 5 blade prop!!!!!, that is the ears of a novice, so could be wrong!!!!. Is this your build? Bas

David, are you in Australia?. I have looked up Traplet and Au' is all I can find. Bas

Hi David, it is something that I to wanted to build.electric was /is my choice. I have the plans as well. I just cant make that last leap. It looks like a big project, it worries me that it will drag on for some while. Please keep this thread going and keep in touch. Yes please keep in touch!!!!! Where did you get the foam cores?. Bas

Many thanks. Bas

Dont forget to keep your smuggler clear of the prop.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck Frans, from a novice. Bas

Ron, is it possible you could tell me , better still show me how these were hinged please. Thanks. Bas

Thank you gentlemen for your input. I hope from this I can work out something that will suit this application. Once again many thanks. Bas

Well Wookman, I can work out , in theory about a lever system that works, but; there are the other things like, covering the spoiler face, that means you need access to reconnect after covering. Needing access to adjust the system so that they close properly. Both LH & RH mechanics must be identical, therefore adjustment required. Where is the ideal position of the 'Brake' on the wing surface?. I assume the surface area will be reflected by their efficiency . The T31m is my first venture into gliders our field is not that big so I think it needs brakes. A picture paints a thousand words. I can fix the servo (With adhesive )But need access to the coupling at the other end (Fix to horn) under the brake, cant seem to be able to work out the fittings required. Bas PS just had some other thoughts. I have difficulty in adding pictures;!!!!!

Can anybody advise re above. My limited knowledge has allowed me to work out various methods but they all fall down on one aspect or the other when it actually comes to fitting them. I can't find any info on the subject of fitting airbrakes anywhere. I have looked at Chris Williams latest Foka, (Free plan) but there are no details, well not enough for me. Thanks in advance. Bas

I look forward to following it. Bas

Stephen, I am trying to fit spoilers/air brakes to this T31m. Worked out a system using wire /axle type hinges. Fixed once attached, before covering. Scrolled down and saw yours finished but loose. How do you manage to do this please. Do you re-fix the hinge after covering?. If so how please. Cant get my head around it. the linkage was difficult enough.( first picture of this group). Mnay thanks. Bas

Hi, once again I have gone thru all of the articles, kindly sent to me by Kevin. I have found the references to a procedure to encompass the new elevator wing. I must apologies to you all, especially Kevin. Sorry but I have had a bit on at the moment. many thanks. Bas

Briliant !!!!!

Hello out there. Has anybody built this wing ? . Some one must have, although its been a long time since the onset. The new Aileron wing has a symetrical shape, unlike the flat bottom one. How do you line up the new one with the old when mounting the wing on the fuse' ?. Do you overlay them keeping the frt-back in line with a line thru' LE and TE? seems logical to me but............... letting this line dictate the wing angle. 'Answers on a post card please, the closing date is .............' thats what they used to say on the radio, some years ago admittedly, but that shows my age !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just trying to make light and keep going. Thanks for those of you that may have some info. No urgentcey with this as its been in the pipe line for some while as Kevin must have been aware. Bas

Kevin, hello, hope you are well. The drawing you show is the one I have , that I got from you I believe !.I have had trouble in moving it from my downloads to somw where I can do something with !!!!. Have you built it ?. The oringinal wing did not have ailerons, this wing is a different profile and I assume the 'Seat in the fuse' will hav e to be modified. If so how do you set the new angle( Angle of attack). Seems to raise some issues. Many thanks. Bas

I must apologise to you all. I have in fact found a download of that plan, however I am having trouble printing it/moving it so that I can get a full size print. The new wing has a sermi symetrical shape, different from the original. Surely this mean the wing mount shape will be different ?. Bas

Hi, I have manage to accumulate the articles and plan for the original( Without ailerons). Does anybody have a copy of the plan for the wing with ailerons,that appears to be the only thing missing. Thanks Bas

well done Jim. Bas

Those of us of a certain age that lived in cities and towns during the time of the smogs also remember their effects on us. No doubt we all support their removal. You cant put a price on our well being improved by the changes in fuel use. I grew up in outer London following the war when these conditions still existed. Bas

When stuck with what seems an unsolvable problem, thats sometime the only way forward............ I tell myself. But it does work, but in a long time frame.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bas

Richard, can you explain what you mean by heat reactive. What is the reaction when heated, apart from the fact of driving off some water from the emulsion based adhesive. Many thanks Bas
