|
|
|
Retroplane 2015 was the first for me. I'am writing in english because my french is not that good. My english is better than my french, but not faultless....)I can speak and understand french, but I don't dare to write in it.
I went to retroplane with my Nemere, scale 1:8, wingspan of 2.50. It was built of the "Rippensatz" from the Aufwind 4/2011. I added spoilers and a interior with a pilot.
After a couple of flights friday my Nemere had a collision in mid air with a much bigger plane. The other plane could land with some damage on the horizontal stabilizer, but my Nemere had lost all speed and dived from 20? meters straight in the ground (which was pretty hard) destroying the fuselage up to the wing
It was 3 o'clock and the "Expo fuselage" was at 5!
So I gathered all the small pieces and puzzled the nose together using all my superglue. Luckily I could borrow some more

A bit late my small Nemere was presented to the "Expo" an on saterday I could make quite some flights.
Back at home I rebuild the nose

 [img] and joined it with the fuselage. The interior was changed a bit , putting heavier stuff further forward, so I needed less lead.

 All I need to do is getting it back in the matching colour, it will take some time! |

Hello,
...that gives me motivation to repair my "kandidat" - also crashed on friday because of a "traffic jam between the ears"....
I saw your plane flying - like these smaller planes!
Good luck

After some time, I thought the repair of the damaged Nemere scale 1/8 should be finished.
One of the things I regretted with this Nemere scale 1 : 8 is the colouring. After a lot of try and error I tried to paint/colour the balsa with acrylics. To my disappointment it was not as translucent as I thought it would be. I also mixed some colours ( sienna, burnt sienna and white).
After rebuilding the nose and some minor repairs at the wings I couldn't get the right colour back! Also with varnishing the colour changed
 The changed interior, putting all the heavy stuff in front, in the open space goes the lipo 2cell 800 mah, no seat for the pilot

Next the decals, made by my friend Adri. We had a long discussion about the thickness of yhe olympic rings. After downloading these rings it looks they are different as the onn one of the sparse photo's
 it is possible to calculate more or less the thickness of the rings, we estimated at 1/14 maybe 1/15 of the diameter. Fun isn't After cutting the decals, we used the thinnner ones.



Ready to fly again, miserebal weather over here You can see the colour difference, my only comfort is that the real thing also had a lot of different colours
There wil be photo's of its flights!

Vincent, I think it is a very good and strong repair, and when your Nemere will be in the thermal, nobody is going to see ant difference in the colours!
I wish you a lot of good flights.

I hardly flew my repaired Nemere scale 1: 8, but I flew it a lot the saturday afternoon on the 2016 Retroplane, on the N slope. There was quite a lot of wind and I made a video with a camera on board.

Wouaou !!! great flight !
The wind was enormous (the sound).....
It is super to see three gliders together at a moment ...
The landing seems a little bit hard....
The pilot had no seat, but I never heard it conplaining for one......

Hello Philippe,
Thanks very much for your comments! About the landing, it was not too hard, at least for my doiing To get a better picture, the camera is on a pod and attached with velcro on the wing. It can get off when the wing stops abruptly.



The camera itself is secured with a safety line at the rudderhorn of an aileron, or with tape. In our club there are two camera's lost.......

Bonjour a tous,
Sorry, I go on in English. The fuselage of my Nemere 1:8 was damaged at Chantemerle, it was possible to repair it, but...
In last years I thought about building a light scale glider, inspired by the Rhonbussard at Retroplane 2016 at Polsa. It had a span of 2m and was only 500grams! It kept flying with almost no wind.
Michel Leroy was also inspired by this fact. and made his small Slinsby Petrel.
My Nemere 1:8 was about 1100grqams, the fuselage 500 and wings 550 grams. I had some ideas about building lighter fuselage and decided to build a new fuselage to see if that would work.
If this should work allright I might change the (4) wing servo's to gain an extra 40 grams.
I hope to get at a flying weight of about 850 grams and hope it will fly better in light airs and also better in thermals.
The idea was to use only skin to take up alll the loads, no stringers. Hopefully the servo's and lipo weight enough to get the cg right.
I started with the frames, laminated from strips 0.6mm amd 0.4mm ply, soaked in very hot water (almost boiling)



I finished them all, 22.1 gram.

I fixed them temporarely with 10X10mm battens on a building jig.
 Two long 10mm wide strips 0.4mm ply to join the bottom and top half of the 2mm balsa skin and also strips glued over the frames to join the skin seams.

This stage of the building went quick!

 The wings are connected with 6mm carbon and to save weigt I used three 10mm pieces of brass tube (also because thats all I had )

To be continued,
Vincent |

Hallo Vincent,
schön das du wieder in Modell baust und den Baubericht hier einstellt
Die Bauart mit den Spanten ist sehr interessant und erinnert mich ein
bisschen an Schiffsbau
Viel Erfolg
Johannes
