    Wonder what the scale linkage looks like? Looks like a horn and servo buried might be more scale like.

    Here's some good reading about biplanes from the late Miles Reed. This was copied from the IMAA GS Handbook.

    Scale PJ 295 build.

    I have read several times to build the second side on top of the first to get two identical sides, I've done it once or twice. Since I normally have the plans for some time before building I see little chance that the plans will change due to humidity changes. Pretty sure this is your case! As...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Been working on the new gear struts when I get a chance in between my daughter's bathroom remodel and the holidays. The gear is 3/4" longer and I used .035" wall 4130 tube rather than the .065" wall on the original. Also working to minimize the size of steel parts to save weight. Used my...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    OK I get it. I'm guessing you set the wing to zero by changing the angle of the fuselage then set to stab to zero?

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Draw a line on the plans from the center of the leading edge to the center of the trailing edge. Measure down to the end points to the center of thrust. Use the difference divided by root length and take the arctan of that number, that is the wing incidence as measured by the Robart incidence...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The plans for the Cherokee are still hanging in my shop. I had a look and the incidence is shown at 1.7 degrees positive. The airfoil is a semi symmetrical foil. I looked over the BUSA plans and instruction manual and did not find any mention of the incidence because the incidence is set with...

    Coming along nicely. I'm surprised the flat bottom wing as set at zero? I'm thinking more like +1 1/2 degrees.

    Probably not to code, needed a shorter flange for my daughter's bathroom remodel. Got to work in the shop anyway!

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I built many planes with a 5" band saw and a drill press. I find the band saw more useful than a scroll saw, I think the only time I use mine is to put holes in formers.
