Trevor Crook Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I'm preparing to build one of these, which was a free plan in the February 2021 magazine, and wondered whether anyone else had done so. I did a quick search of the forums, but could have missed it. Reading the article, Andy mentions he cut down a 380mm canopy from Vortex Vacforms, but doesn't mention the part number. Can anyone help?

Trevor Crook Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Surprised no one here has apparently built one of these, especially as Sarik sell a woodpack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I am starting to cut the parts for this plan. Most of them rough cut so far. Hopefully by the end of this weekend, they'll be mostly done. I was also going to look for the same canopy. Not got round to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Crook Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 That's three of us then - my son is building one from a Sarik wood set he got on Ebay. I'll post some pics of my progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Not sure if your pre-cut parts are the same, but on the 1/8" Aileron Spar Web, the slots do not line up with R1, R2 and the first R3 Rib. The other 6 slots are perfect but the length is slightly short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Crook Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 I'm scratch building, and the parts seem fine cut from the free plan. My son is building from the Sarik parts, I'll alert him to the potential issue, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 How are you getting on @Trevor Crook ? With a little bit of assistance from @kevin b and suddenly finding I have some (unwanted) spare time, I've finally got started. First the wings and motor mount. Little bit of adjustment and will be ready to break out the glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Andy, looks like your spar webbing has the grain running horizontally, shouldn’t it be vertical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Apparently not........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 @Trevor Crook to answer your original question, on the Vortex Vacform website, the canopy is listed as CN100 ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Trying to decide how the profile of the wingtip should look before I cut it. Anybody got any finished profile pictures ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
