Erix · Fidèle Posteur Inscrit le: 01 Mar 2011 Localisation: Bolatice

Dear friends,

Time is running out very fast. I decide change my firs choice what to bulid for Congrès 2017 Vauville. Biplane Martens is probably beyond my power (at this moment [argh]

) so I discovered this - Lippisch-Falke 1921

I would like to ask you for a favor. Have you any some sketch or photo landings "system", please? [amen]

Thank you very much
Erix

I love the look of this glider with his big round nose [good]

Hi Vincent,

Yes I saw this photo. Do you mean that it is look like this?

It goes that it is design of this time 20's 19th century, yes. But it is impractical for flying on the slopes Shocked

. For landing of course, for flying no problema Laughing

Is it possible to redesign Lippis-Falke version 1.0 to version 1.1 with more practical landing system for this meeting? [humm]

No everywhere is landing area coast of sea like in Normandy Wink

Maybe you can keep the double landing gear and add 2 wheels? or a removable landing gear for flying, or more simple build a central skid....

So, Yes you can re-design a landing gear, all these old models are not true scale because documents, photos are very poor....

Thanks for the ideas. Both I studied. Tuomas have original documents so he knows right way. Tuomas's solution is right for me. For the fuselage-Expo and Normandy coast landing skis, for flying in our slope conditions it will be removable and have one central skid Very Happy

I draw wingspan 3,2m; depth of leaf 550 mm; I will try to build 5-6kg weight
