To get good results for the cover it necessary to place some balsa strips onto the fuselage:
Unbelievable how much time this work needed:
... but it's done and the passage is very smooth. Ufff |

|
|

Next step: the nose, it should be made out of balsa.
But I did a mistake: I've tried to save balsa (which is totally nonsense!) and saved to much.
Result: during sanding a hole !!! This nose is useless
Ok. My fault. New nose.
Honestly, the curve of this kit-nose I do not like too much. Lets find a new shape:
Meanwhile my friend Emil convinced me to put much more effort into this part, I should build "somthing special".
Due to the laser-cut all parts have brown-black edges. Wouldn't it be nice having a nose again in brown-black and white? My investigation of internet brought up these kind of wood: wenge (millettia laurentii) + maple. Both available in 5mm (x100x1000).
Ohlala, this nose weighs 107g for this kind of glider having 800-900g lift-off-weight, no chance.
But still I kept on going, finding out how this sandwich-material can be handled. Many hours later, using just this rasp/file the weight dropped to 68g. Not bad, but still not good enough.
Using a little mill I stripped down "the interior space". What a noise and dust
Now the nose weighs 47g. Good enough? Let's give it a try.
To preserve the wood I varnished it with water-based sealing. 3 layers including sanding "in-between" the layers).
I'm pleased about this result

Salut Vincent,
These japanese saws aren't that expensive. Years ago I've bought a whole set of them.
I would recommmend at least this one: it's only 0,3mm thick Dozuki Universal Compact
A bientôt,
Oliver. |

The tail unit was fix to the fuselage.
Wings and fuselage nicely positioned and aligned to it precisely.
Today is the day: work on wood is done

Great job, I really like the nose bicolor
A question for you or any other fellow who had done
Is it possible to dye the balsa to get a similar effect?
Regards,
Miguel. |

Salut Miguel,
Citation: Is it possible to dye the balsa to get a similar effect?
In principle it's possible to dye balsa. But ... if you try to get a straight separation of colour, this will not be possible. Balsa sucks ink/varnish/etc too easily into its fibers.
What you could try: make a "nose" out of balsa, varnish it with 2-3 layers (close all balsa fibers) and afterwards you could apply colour onto the varnish.
A bientôt,
Oliver.[/quote] |

Very nice work and beautiful model. I like very much that such of antic models.
So good this idea for the nose. It looks very nice.

|
|
|
Salut à tous,
Sorry for this delay in reporting. The next couple of weeks will be better.
The constructor has designed the nose to be removable for entering the fuselage. There could be some magnets holding the entire nose. But for me (and my fingers) this is not big enough. I decided to make an opening from the top (as usual).
First I had to double some parts of formers to be able to cut the strings for the opening.
Comment for those who want to do the same:
It would have been better to water all the strings, because if glued in without them being watered, they hold a lot of tension. As soon as you use your saw, they "jump back" into a straighter position which makes it difficult to keep them in a bend position.
I had to glue in a lot of additional braces to keep the strings in round shape
Using a rest of fiber and a bit of Paulownia wood I've created a "look for this opening.
At the end, there's a bigger opening to make it possible to see and manipulate everything in the fuselage.
Hope you like it

Unfortunately there is nearly 100g of weight needed in the nose to set up the right point of gravity
This way the glider weighs (still without varnish) nearly 700g.
Here are some impressions of "my remote"
One of my favorites are pipes for the receiver antennas to keep them in a 90° angle and (of course) for protection and easy removability
Now it's time for the gas mask and lots of dope... |

Ok, I knew it before but did not take care of:
the varnish/dope (Spannlack) is so strong, it's bending the last spare of the rudder ...
No chance to leave it like it is:
It needs more struts to enforce:
At least this correction is "invisible" and the spare is straight again

Meanwhile I've made a box for easy and safe transportation.
Have a look...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=V45YYvdWtNs
First the needed space for the Jaguár theoratically:
Some more wood ... and later on "a box":
My wonderful wife Karin painted the box to be not that "white".
Meanwhile the interior found its final situation more an more:
This should be mentioned ...
the gilder can be setup up in the box safely without having the wind "grapping".
Afterward you just take it out and fly
I will come back with the maiden flight.
So long,
Oliver. |

Bonjour,
This wonderful plane took off in the air just great. First by throwing out of the hand, later on with high start.
Nothing irregular happend, just an easy ride with the wind
