Default GUPPY 2 electric sailplane

A few days ago, I finished all drawings for the new GUPPY 3 electric sailplane. It is successor of well known Guppy, that plans I published in 2006 on profili2 website (section Free plans) and on many forums for downloading.

Now, the plans for GUPPY 2 are available on [link=http://ultralajt.webs.com/rcmodels.htm]my website [/link].
Please check down the plans preview!

Technical data for GUPPY 2

The model can be build with many wing options:
1- simple polydihedrall wing (no ailerons) with two spans: 1560 and 1700mm (61,4" and 67")
2- Wing with ailerons, again with two spans: 1560 and 1700mm (61,4" and 67")

Wing area: span 1560=20,2dm2; span 1700=22,4dm2

The drawings pack consist from 20 separate plans.

Here is a preview of complete set of plans:




















Plans are in full svale, tiled print on A4 or letter format paper.
On request, the largte sheets (fuselage, wings, templates..) are available for those, who can print on large sheet of paper at once, to avoid glueing separate papers together.

So, if you like this new design, dont hesitate to build one for yourself!
