Grunau Baby 1:4 - Krick Modellbau

[filotto78]

Hi everybody!
I would like to show you the model that I'll use to Retroplane 2014.
The model has been build by a Krick Modellbau kit. No particular modifications from the original except for the following:
- aileron servos: I put them in front of the aileron instead of near the wing root
- spoiler servos: I made a dedicated hatch to make the servo easily accessible
- elevator and stabilizer rib thickness: 3 mm instead of 2 mm

Then I wanted to try to build a tow release device because I wasn’t able to find a commercial one of the right length.

Below you can find some picture.

A full article about the building log and the maiden flight has been published on the January 2014 issue of RC Soaring Digest:

For any information don’t hesitate to contact me.

Regards
Alex
