SPALINGER S25 - Jose

[Jose Flavio Marques]

Hello friends,

Start today to build the S25 SPALINGER from the plant CW.

I will comment very little, because I have much to learn from the examples here in this forum.

I hope to match the quality of buildings posted here.

There is a kit of a PDF file I performed the planning for laser-cut wood.

Hi José,

welcome back to the Rétroplane-forum!
The Spalinger S25 is a wonderful glider, and it's still in use in Brasil, in your country, isn't it?
Your getting ahead very fast, keep on building like that!

What's that on the ceiling on picture 2 of the last post?
Isn't it the elevator for your Spalinger???

I will have a close look to your report, it will brighten up the soon coming winter!

Best wishes,

Frank

Quick work, Jose If you can, use 1.5mm ply plates to strengthen the join between the 1.5mm and 0.75mm plywood...

[Jose Flavio Marques]

CW Thanks

for reminding me, I usually reinforced with acrylic resin.

See how I reinforced the fuselage on the inside to receive their wings.

Hello friends!

My week was productive, I finished the formwork of the fuselage.
Now is the time of the wings.

Well done Jose!

Jakob Spalinger has been a very good and productive designer and a scale model of the S25 a very good choice.

Success with the construction and I hope you will enjoy to flight it.

Lovely sailplane and good craftsmanship

Hecquetmarc Thanks,

I needed to stop the building to perform a short treatment of health, now I'm with all power and with 100% health.

The Fafnir on the picture looks impressive too! from Vince Cockett's plans?

[Jose Flavio Marques]

Yes, Vince Cockett's plans.


I have built two models of Fafnir.

Flamingo, Spalinger S18 and Minimoa, CW plans.

For the future I will build the Rhonsperber and Slingsbay-type-18-Petrel.

See my squadron.

I have the feeling that you are like me in love with sea gull winged sailplanes !!
I have also built the Minimoa from Chris's plans. My last one is also an american gull winged sailplane you might have seen on the forum:

Hello friends,


Today I finished the wing struts.

Still will not make the impact test as did our teacher and master CW.

I noticed that the fastening system proposed by CW works very well .

Hi Jose, beautiful work what's that on your canopy, grey? masking tape to protect it?
