  1. 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 

  2.  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 

  3. 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 partsFF250901-D3EA-48D6-A4E1-3901747A1A9E.thumb.jpeg.c5d255b6e36681d143c11d93eb716369.jpeg

     

    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

  4. 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 

  5. 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

    Oh, that’s a keeper! 

    Next time we get together, I must bring the Giant Mannock and we’ll hunting for some Bosch..( ratatatat)

    I was thinking of Wings and Wheels in 2025 at the new venue

    Sadly Wings and wheels has been cancelled for 2024

  7. 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

    I sold Bert the tiger because my knackered back wouldn’t cope with big models any more .I flew it for years on a zenoah 38 and it was great .The prop was scale size (22 6 ) It flew scale like in most conditions .It was a bit tricky in a force 5 wind though .

    I chickened out on trying it with the straight drive G38
