To the Build Here <\/a> <\/p>

<\/p>

Build in the works, will start with two short Kits and Plans, there is lots of lumber needed, well source a couple belcranks thru Europe. Apparently they are the same as what was included in Aquila Kits . Lets see<\/p>

This is a dual wing rod design, I believe 7\/32 rods, so will need some ejector pins to cut down, main spars are beefy 1\/2 x 1\/8 sitka. <\/p>

I like the string set up for spoilers, similar to the Legionairs, though the string exits out of the wing root feeding forwards. Retaining the wings will be a bit tougher with eyes that are well back of the canopy opening in the fuselage. Somewhat hard to reach into there to hook on a spring or rubber band<\/p>

Other option would be tape, though not my preferred method. <\/p>

1\/16″ SS cables would work for rudder and horizontal stab control, running in nylon tubes<\/p>

Power could be via a 4 cell AA eneloop pack, 5 cell may fit, will need to check that though<\/p>

Back to the wing mounting, the fillets are built up of 1\/8 ply , 1\/2 balsa and the fuse side is 1\/4 inch ,<\/p>

this means a rather lengthy eye on the wing root , perhaps with a 1 Inch extension<\/p>

Follow Up Aug 2023<\/p>

Exploring lighter 7075 -T5 wing rods<\/p>

Like to retain the wings with eyes, and spring just not sure how to access the space to secure the spring<\/p>

Paint Scheme <\/p>
