José Ortiz Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Hello friends, I have recently purchased a Stampe kit from SLEC and I will start building shortly. I have several doubts... 1-I see several Stampe built and the upper wing is not appreciated dihedral....in the kit the two have to carry. 2- how many degrees, or millimetres of dihedral at each tip of the wing, this is not indicated by the kit. I have to say that I also have some plans of the same plane from the previous house and they are exactly the same. Thank you very much for your interest. Bye Edited March 23 by Martin Harris - Moderator Originally posted in Spanish. I have Auto translated it but the first question is unclear to me.

Perhaps we have some Spanish speakers on this forum Martin who could do a better job of translating the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think the question is clear enough, unfortunately I’m out at the moment and will have a look when I get home The centre sections may give some clue but I can measure three top wings to give a measurement to the dihedral required at the wing tips in mm, this does not mean to say mine are correct but may offer some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, English is the language of aviation. Having said that, I remember flying into a French airfield just outside Paris, Les Mureux, where all the RT was conducted in French till someone told the controller thst someone was calling him in English! He then spoke to me in English and everyone else in French! I kept a very sharp lookout till I was clear of the runway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davis Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I must admit that although Bert thinks that the first question is clear enough I have no idea what José is writing about. If the original text were displayed maybe a fluent Spanish speaker could give us a better translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Jose needs to know the dihedral angle and the distance from building board to wing tip in mm …… I think!🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Jose, hello and welcome The kit plans and instructions does not specify a measurement The centre wing sections parts LC9 and LC10 for the bottom wing and parts UC10 and UC11 for the top wing are cut at the required angle for Dihedral You make the 4 wing panels as per the plan remember to pack up lower spars by 1/16” as per instructions each panel will be glued onto the centre section and the top spars should line up with the top edges of the UC and LC parts I have 3 Stampe’s to take measurements from, They are all slightly different at the wing tips as different builders do the wing tips slightly different A more reliable measurement will be at the underside of W1 next to w2 as the wing will be build on a flat surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we have some Spanish speakers on this forum Martin who could do a better job of translating the original post. If we have a Spanish speaker who wants to assist, could I suggest they PM Jose to establish what he wishes to clarify and perhaps post on his behalf. I’m afraid the forum CoC specifically requires all posts to be in English so posting the original text is not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Each of my Stampe’s are all slightly different for Dihedral, Top wing At the bottom of wing rib W1 Mine measure 11-20mm Bottom wing At the bottom of wing rib W1 mine measure 12.5–15.5 mm The Blue wings Top blue wing is 12mm at W1 Bottom blue wing is 15mm at W1 hope this helps You do need to study and understand the plan before cutting and gluing parts together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I would expect that all our other Stampe owner’s measurements will be similar Also some might be able to give reference to the full size I only have what I have and able to take measurements from them they might be right they might be wrong but they all fly ok in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 All three that I have are from the older kits, die stamped ones I do have a new Laser cut un started kit and a older un started die stamped kit with both old and new plans to hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Those detailed pics from Cymaz show the tail to be at a +ve incidence. Unfortunately mine was built from an original Precedent kit with the 1/4sq. spruce longerons level all the way to the fin post, resulting in the tail being at 0 deg. This meant that it will only fly with a huge amount of down elevator, although that does not detract from the performance, just looks weird on the ground. Because there is 1/16th ply from the fin through the tail it was not possible to correct this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 I think most of us ( myself included) built off plan like that☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Ortiz Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 First I apologize for publishing in Spanish. Then thank everyone for your interest and quick responses. This forum is very helpful for less advanced builders and this thread about the Stampe is very interesting since each of you contributes your grain of sand and your peculiarities to this model and we are all getting ideas. I would also like to modify the upper wing in three parts and the lower wing in two to have access to the interior of the fuselage. I am studying how to do it....Thank you all very much for your help and understanding, greetings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Jose, Take a look at how Practical scale have done the top wing of their 1/3 scale Tigermoth It does need working rigging Svenson 1/4 scale Stampe has a three piece top wing If your going to make it heavily modified I would suggest looking how Practical scale fit their wing struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Ortiz Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Thank you very much for your help, I'm going to re-read the entire thread to continue getting ideas. You are very good builders. Greetings to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
