Hi everyone, I decided to put this on here as there is very little on the internet about this kit built plane. The build looks to be in construction I’ve had this for a while it was built by a friends dad and subsequently I’ve got ownership of it. The manual says 35 to 62cc gas engine, I did a maiden flight with a NGH38 fourstroke up front, this proved to be marginal on performance, I subsequently fitted a DLE 55RA, this was better on performance but let down by Aileron horn failure and on inspection found the elevator horn not fit for purpose, I lost interest in it and did attempt to sell it but no takers so it has sat in the garage for a while, I’ve had make a decision on its fate and have another go was the order of the day, I reinstalled all the gear and made a few bits better It’s weight has come in at 12 kg so more or less in-between the manufacturers weights, has anyone flown,owned or built one of these kits

Search for Toni Clark Practical Scale

Jose, Take a look at how Practical scale have done the top wing of their 1/3 scale Tigermoth It does need working rigging Svenson 1/4 scale Stampe has a three piece top wing If your going to make it heavily modified I would suggest looking how Practical scale fit their wing struts

All three that I have are from the older kits, die stamped ones I do have a new Laser cut un started kit and a older un started die stamped kit with both old and new plans to hand

I would expect that all our other Stampe owner’s measurements will be similar Also some might be able to give reference to the full size I only have what I have and able to take measurements from them they might be right they might be wrong but they all fly ok in my opinion

Each of my Stampe’s are all slightly different for Dihedral, Top wing At the bottom of wing rib W1 Mine measure 11-20mm Bottom wing At the bottom of wing rib W1 mine measure 12.5–15.5 mm The Blue wings Top blue wing is 12mm at W1 Bottom blue wing is 15mm at W1 hope this helps You do need to study and understand the plan before cutting and gluing parts together

Jose, hello and welcome The kit plans and instructions does not specify a measurement The centre wing sections parts LC9 and LC10 for the bottom wing and parts UC10 and UC11 for the top wing are cut at the required angle for Dihedral You make the 4 wing panels as per the plan remember to pack up lower spars by 1/16” as per instructions each panel will be glued onto the centre section and the top spars should line up with the top edges of the UC and LC parts I have 3 Stampe’s to take measurements from, They are all slightly different at the wing tips as different builders do the wing tips slightly different A more reliable measurement will be at the underside of W1 next to w2 as the wing will be build on a flat surface

I think the question is clear enough, unfortunately I’m out at the moment and will have a look when I get home The centre sections may give some clue but I can measure three top wings to give a measurement to the dihedral required at the wing tips in mm, this does not mean to say mine are correct but may offer some help

Hi yes welcome we’re all still here

Thinking back to my boating days plane might suffer the same issues you can scale down a boat but you can’t scale down the water or the weather possibly with planes you can scale the size down but can you scale the strength to weight of the wood down Dunno must be some reasons why

It does have very slight under camber

This thing just devours time, I’ve still got loads of jobs to do But getting to the point that it will be test flown

Sadly Wings and wheels has been cancelled for 2024

Done loads

Thought I’d get some outdoor pictures now it’s ready to test fly

After a bit of a long time repair my moth is ready to fly again, I’ve fitted a Enya 60 4c, Final weight came on at 4.3kg

Well done mate, It’s all about the fun you can have

That’s great news

Having admired your nicely fitting dash boards. I’ve dug out the one I makes from the Mick Reeves dash kits I think there were two options and I think I’ve got the wrong ones It’s to do with the outer profile shape there nice kits but I need to make a call and poss send my old ones to be re made to my profiles

Only if we can have a naughty step with cushions and a coffee maker
