ASW 17 Sailplane

I think what Eric means is that with the constant taper and reducing thickness the wing will flex upwards giving a continuously variable dihedral.

Exactly! - there was a photo of a big-span glass ship going around, but of course I can't fnd it now!

Yes the wing bends up if you pull any positive g but just don't push the stick forward too quickly.
 
Looks horrible! 

That will be interesting
The nightmare continues with the wiring 
 
 
Bound to be some comments 
It will not need anything to hold the wing to the fuselage as those connectors are so tight i had to sand outside part of the connector to fit inside the frame
They may well pull the hole thing out of the wing/fuselage

Thats tidy 
Just realised this is in the wrong thread the box photos should be in the SA diary thread 

Cutting the set of ribs for the other wing
 
Complete set 
 
And about 50 quids worth of waste balsa 

Managed to put my clumsy hand through the top of the win
 
 
Mended that then opened up where the servo wire was as i had marked the bay it was in
 
Trouble was it was not
 
found it on the third attempt 
 
So i marked the two in the the other panel on the top front bottom and rear
 
And if i get it wrong ill take up fishing 
 

I just posted a post on here with 4 pictures and quite a bit of tx and its GONE 

I didn't delete it!

It did not show up when i posted it 

Not a good day today have not even got out of my pyjamas, all iv done is glue the third panel together
 
Now ill watch my team Man U win at football and call it a day
 

Onward slowly sheeted top of inner section, on the plan it say's sheet the bottom first with the wing pinned in position and the underside is concaved   Iv also glued the outer section together   

One last post for this year, sheeted the top of the second section
 
Hope you all have a good night, i shall wake tomorrow without an hangover as i have done for the last16 years RIP Ann and John X

Had another bad night so ended up in the shed, i plugged the first fully sheeted wing into the fuselage connected a servo one end and my servo tester the other and NOTHING works 
And whilst mucking about with the multi meter which i know nothing about, i managed to get the dreaded white smoke from the servo tester 
Got my wires crossed somewhere so will have to open it up 
At the start of last year i had 1 servo tester which i smoked ,
i then bought 3 which i went through quite quickly ,
i bought 2 more and now i have none 
Ill order some more 












 

OOPS. The joys of getting older.
