Hi,

Actually I have not measured movements of control surfaces. But still,

Aileron - they are not so effective. Movement is approx. +/- 1,5cm. But if you can get more I think this is good as my ...

Hello fellow modellers,

I have been extremely busy with my day job and neglected to follow this wonderful forum. And this extremely nice S-22-project. Your progress is astonishing!

Some messages ...

Greetings!

I have been neglecting this great site for too long and small update is in place. First, S-22 is still flying great. No problems there. That is fun little plane.

But, this is news. My ...

Hi Jean-Paul!

I must pass this year, I have been extremely busy at my day job. But I lurk around these great build logs just to fantasize of building something soon..

Tuomas

Looking great!

One more thing.

I finalized & published plans of this plane. They are available for free download at http://www.iwaru.fi/gluhareff.html

Hello everyone,

I got back from winter skiing holiday and check'd camera. There was still couple photos which I forgot to add to this thread. See below..

Gentlemen,

I just noticed third video containing S-22-flying. That part of video was taken at end of event with crowds going home. So field is almost empty and no paragliders.

It does skid, which is evident on video. But with rather modest co-ordinated use rud & ail you can make totally flat thermal turns. I even managed to stay in thermals for good while. The sun was h ...

Merci Pat!

Yes, that tug is quite brutal. We were quite worried that there would be something... bad during maiden tow so we decided to perform helicopter tow. That is, go straight up. In case of p ...

Merci Frédéric!

brief update - Peekoo just published an short video of S-22-maiden. We are still in process of finetuning it, but it can be seen currently http://youtu.be/A0q__2AxVZY

Thanks everyone!

Vincent - those skis are not usable in soft snow. They would sink into snow immediately and that would generate too large backward force to landing gears. They would break, and fus ...

Mesdames et Messieurs! Il me fait grand plaisir d'annoncer vol inaugural du Gluhareff S-22.
(and just to certain - that google translated stuff looks suspicious..)
Ladies and gentlemen! It is my gre ...

merci à vous tous!

Regarding winter, you seem to be enjoying it more than us :). At least according news you have received snow which normally is delivered here. Lucky you!

Well - for this plane ...

Merci Vincent!

I love wood building!

This plane is quite funny looking. Actually - it looks a lot like planes in vintage comic books, a bit like this...

Actually product information says that it is 'Paulown-tree'. Whatever that might be. I have no clue. I gues it grows in places which does not include Finland.

Wood itself is quite light and sands e ...

And then to today's steps. I got terrible flu so did not have energy to do anything important, but something still.

merci à tous!

Regarding Peenemunde - I do have some doubts of that idea, but I remember seeing one glider which had periscope. Anyway - this chap Adaridi who was part of original team flying this p ...

Merci Christian,

And today I sanded it to shape, not yet finalized but good enough for next steps. I also sanded initial shape to nose block.

And cleaned shop. That took 2 hours.

And then I had enjoyable day of sheeting. This is really strange looking plane.

Note that plane is nowhere near completely sanded etc. So there are rough edges.

Papy - that is gorgeaus. It is modelling art. You should have not flown it, or covered it.

And regarding 3-axles-piloting skills... I can build, yes, but flying is not my forte. Flying this will be ...

Merci Papy, I am a bit worried whether this will be flyable. My main concern is total lack of v-form combined with 'interesting' ailerons. I might end up doing barrel roll on maiden tow.

Also short ...

Then to collection of all kinds of small details.

Next to aileron. This is rather large aileron, as it is really half wing. So it should be aerodynamically good enough.

Merci, Vincent

And today is time to sheet wing tips. It required quite a bit of sanding to get tips into shape but it looks right now.

Okay, now I have done the first implementation test. It seems to be working, but there is some finetuning to be done.

Hello,

I have been away for a while to do another project http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1802213 but now I'm back. I need to get this baby to air as winter is nearing end and only ...

Then to the wing tips. As they are moving (= ailerons :) they are somewhat challenging. And there is also another challenge. Airfoil is constantly changing at tip so it took me quite bit head scratch ...
