| jerry campbell | 06-May-11 23:49 | | I printed out the Heinkel He 219 Uhu plans and I think I can blow them up to the size I need and work from them. Is there any chance that there is a second sheet containing the wing ribs. In this size of aircraft I would likely work in 1/32 scale rather than in my usual 1/24th scale. I've always liked the Owl and have a fairly decent selection of photos. |
| pfinn | 07-May-11 22:10 | | Jerry, sorry to say that there are no airfoil plots for this model. It is designed with the "Cracked Rib" airfoil technique. But you really can develop your own set very easily, especially if it is flat bottomed. See my "Lysander" build, starts on page 4. You can use the longest chord length rib as your base curve for all the smaller ribs thereafter. Be sure to ALWAYS start the leading edge of the curve at the same spot (little blue arrow on my curve). Also be sure you make your rib blanks large (tall)enough (the rectangle blanks cut to actual rib length in each position) so that you can just flip the blank over after you've cut one rib and cut an exact duplicate for the other wing side. NOT like I did for the Lysander by cutting one blank for each and every rib. A silly way to waste time by not thinking! ;o0 I'll send you the PDF's. They are full size. These are just to show what they look like. |
