Here is the workstation from a balsa wood of 15/10 on size rods 1.5 x1, 5mm, magnets ensure the continuance. It can cut balsa sticks with a stripper or better with "
stripper Jim JONES"at Peck Polymers (but more expensive!): :
It has the leading edge and trailing edge (chopsticks: 1.5 x1, 5), the magnets keep parts:
The profile is flat, you cut the ribs in the same chopsticks:
The end of each rib is sanded :
Just put a drop of of CA on the rib:
Three ribs are glued and always maintained by magnets:
When the wing is finished moving the stabilizer:
Then the fin and the rudder :
Delicately gets on the wing:
Overview canvas before covering :
The mass of the frame is 0.56 g.
For the covering is used as a wrapping material newspaper:
We will strive this material on a wooden frame:
The tension is achieved using small pieces of tape :
The wing structure raises on an accordion of paper:
And glue is spray at a safe distance:
We set the structure on a clean surface:
And on top spot on the frame with the film canvas:
cut the film with a the iron pyrograver (or an old soldering iron):
Here is the wing covered:
Overview :
New mass 1.05 g:
It will by now be a paper tube japan on a rod 1.5 x1, 5 rolls on a small length movie on canvas and then rolled a piece of paper sized japan:
Once on dry withdrew the paper tube japan of the wand, the film prevents it from sticking to the paper:
two other rods 3 cm are cut, which will bear the wing:
On the other hand preparing the fuselage is a rod 200x5x1.5:
The balsa sticks are glued on the wing following the plan:
a tissue tube is glued to 11cm from one end of the fuselage:
We place a tube on a rod wing :
Then install the wing on the fuselage:
A paper clip :
The paper clip is unfolded :
It will serve as the engine:
The piece is glued to the CA :
We must realise the
dihedral, cut following the plan:
And we have the dihedral on the plan:
The use CA with accelerator :
Here the aircraft without fin :
The 80ohm coil of wire 5 / 100 is glued (See Windings actuators):
The magnets diameter 2mm is glued on the arm (aluminum 3 / 10) :
The arm is then pasted on therudder :
The fin is assembled with small pieces of Blenderm tape as a hinge (See set up an actuator):
The covering is bored with a pin where one will stick the fin :
The fin is in place :
the engine issticked with CA on the paper clip (See Making a simplistic 1:6,7):
It no longer lacks the radio but the propeller is in place (see Making a propeller balsa simple and Tester traction propellers for micro-aircraft):
Here is the recommended receiver: Receiver infra-red Iz2 of
Didel that operates with a transmitter PicooZ. To the right over the engine, left (bottom) those of the actuator, the two plots at the top are magnets for maintaining contact with the rechargeable battery (
Bapi) .
The reicever is maintained by two tissue tubes which slide on a rod 1x1, in order to better address the centre (but beware the
wires
of the actuator).
The wire winding being too short, we must make a welding wire to wire with a small ball of tin.
Welding wire to wire, you can clearly see the ball tin:
Another type of radio used, the combo0, 25g
Micro Plane Solutions, tuning a radio is so delicate it should at least have a osciloscope.

We must use a 72MHz radio on AM radio stations that have become rare, is an issuer Robbe STARION which has been used (you can see on the foreground of the photo):
The model is finished, the mass of 4.31 g.
