RE: 1/3 scale Bleriot XI from Mick Reeves

RE: 1/3 scale Bleriot XI from Mick Reeves

I do hope you mean warping wings :D

The movement induced by the warping cables is approx 15 degrees up & down. This provides adequate roll control but you have to wait for the result and...

Hope you enjoy them!

RE: 1/3 scale Bleriot XI from Mick Reeves

valbor.

The wing warping works just fine. I have about 2" (50mm) up & down at the tips. I did alter the geometry however, from that shown by Mick on the drawings. I've attached a sketch showing...

RE: Arizona Models

That would be a reasonable assumption!

The drawings I have, call for, and I used, both main and sub spars of 1/2" x 1/4" spruce. Whereas those on Joe's drawing shows the mainspar to be only 1/4"...
