john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Picked my build out, the Mini Super from outerzone site, there will be a few tweaks made when I start. Waiting for the plan being printed for now. https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=5107 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Maybe I should slow down on my build or wait for you to show me how it's done especially the tweaks. The idea of a mass build is growing on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Not seen plan yet Steve, thinking ailerons only, no dihedral or maybe just a smidge, inset tail, full length rudder, steerable tail wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was fending off objections? I got it all wrong again the problem being I have never been good at chat. This forum is an education and I thought it would just be fun. I have had a good day today planting onion sets which has made me a bit flippant. I must be happy, how did that happen? Back on topic we are building the same model as your link above is an identical plan to mine. I have typed too much no one is going to read all this rubbish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarlyBird Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I forgot you answered one of my questions. A flat wing will be good then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cripps Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Flat wings tend to look a bit "droopy" so maybe an inch of dihedral on each side will be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Flat wings fine, as Nick says though a smidge makes it look nicer, eithers O.K though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Earlybird. Presumably your Belair kit included 2 ply wing joiners which will be the wrong angle if you change dihedral. You would likely need to cut 2 new joiners after plotting the angle required for 1 inch dihedral. 3 function with standard dihedral will be much easier!

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Edited my post, meant TAIL wheel, it'll be a tail dragger, looks like engine bearers on the plan, they can go, not needed for a lecky model and for I.C you can lower to get better tank/carb postion. Might have imitation windows/screen as well, don't like doing glazing. Inset ailerons as well, not likey strip ones, be mini servos fitted all round and one each for ailerons.

Check out my White MK1 pic to see the trailing edge ailerons. This pic is the original Mk1 modified with 2" wide ailerons,greater surface area,works a treat. Hope this helps. Jim This is a surprise. What size and style ailerons will be best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
