Dupli Star


Recommended Posts

Latest lockdown project the Dupli Star which is a copy of Hanno's un-published design, Supra Star for a 60 size engine although smaller versions were kitted. It seems someone scaled it back up to original size from one of these.

I had a local print shop reduce the plans originally posted on the UKCAA website down to 63" span from 68" to make it more manageable on a venerable OS RF 61. It has foam everything, wings tail and front and rear turtle decks all covered in balsa, the wings in 16" and the rest in 1/32" and stuck down with Gorilla glue.

I widened the fuz slightly so I could fit a copy of an Acrowot canopy which is quite close to the original plan profile.

I opted for a fixed tail dragger U/C to keep it simple as adding retracts to all my fleet gets costly.

A lot of finishing yet to do but as the song says "we have all the time in the world" right now. Anyway, I won't be able to spray it till the weather gets better
