You are right: this spray orginially "cleans white dust" on wood. It is especially made for "nitro-cellulose-varnish", like dope "Spannlack" or shellac "Schelllack&q ...

Salut à tous,

Maybe you know that I use for the most of my gliders a usual fabric, a lining fabric "Futterstoff". It's commenly used inside suits. Light and strong. This fabric is very us ...

Bonjour,

This wonderful plane took off in the air just great. First by throwing out of the hand, later on with high start.
Nothing irregular happend, just an easy ride with the wind Very Happy

Thanks a lot for your replies and greetings.

I promise to upload a video too [amen]

Today I've finalized the Jaguár with 705g lift-off weight Very Happy

Ok, I knew it before but did not take care of:
the varnish/dope (Spannlack) is so strong, it's bending the last spare of the rudder ... http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/OliverPrinz/91 ...

Unfortunately there is nearly 100g of weight needed in the nose to set up the right point of gravity Crying or Very sad

This way the glider weighs (still without varnish) nearly 700g.

Here are some impression ...

Salut à tous,

Sorry for this delay in reporting. The next couple of weeks will be better.

The constructor has designed the nose to be removable for entering the fuselage. There could be some mag ...

Salut Miguel,

Is it possible to dye the balsa to get a similar effect?
In principle it's possible to dye balsa. But ... if you try to get a straight separation of colour, this will not be possible ...

The tail unit was fix to the fuselage.
Wings and fuselage nicely positioned and aligned to it precisely.

Salut Vincent,

These japanese saws aren't that expensive. Years ago I've bought a whole set of them.
I would recommmend at least this one: it's only 0,3mm thick [url=http://www.mehr-als-werkzeug.d ...

Next step: the nose, it should be made out of balsa.

To get good results for the cover it necessary to place some balsa strips onto the fuselage:

Having only pine strips will be not enough for a bit rougher landing. So there is the need of fill-ins between the ribs

Gluing in the rips starting off the fuselage.
And again filling up the gaps with balsa.

Hi Beat,

Please don't mind if I stay to English (for all international readers/followers).

Your're right, there is no balsa for fillings like for leading/trailing edges and nothing for the " ...

Hi,
Time passes by so quickly, but at least the two wing parts are ready.

http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/OliverPrinz/58_194.jpg

To glue the outer wing parts to the main wings I ...

The end of the wing is pretty easy to do. Leading and trailing edges are pre-cut which makes it easy to glue the rips in right.
The lower spar can be prepared as well.

As posted earlier the arm or the mechanics of the elevator should be made out of wood. But I want to have parts made out of fiber. A friend of mine (Thanks to Alex) milled these parts for me.

Hallo Beat,

If you will prefer reading in German ... have a look here: [url=http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showthread.php/469744-Jagu%C3%A1r-von-Paco-Modell?s=19da122e6b30eaca0e6430ee0b627440/url]r ...

Yesterday I've tried to push in all rips into the little gap of the lea ...

Let's get an overview which parts there are for the wings.
Each rip has "nice stands" which makes it easy to achieve the right alignment.

I like the idea of using a little bamboo rod as a leading edge. It would not be my first choice but still fascinating enough to try it out. So, since days the bamboo rods soaked in water.

To prevent the fabrique/cover to "fall in" I've decided to fill in all gaps between the rips, as well as the gap between the fixed wing and the rudder
http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images ...

While waiting for the leading edge bar (of the elevator) to be soaked in water, I start with the rudder.

I could not resist and put all parts together.

Salut Roger,

Thanks for remembering me. You're right, there's a report in bauen&fliegen 5/2012. I just had a look into it.

Some details have changed/improved to the version I build now. Even ...

Amazing how few parts are needed for this all-flying rudder
