Stick Build Sabach 35 Profile

[phjoker]

Well after stick building the Lazy Bee I decieded to Stick build another plane. This one is a 35 sized profile designed around the Sabach style Plane. This one is being built for Electric. I am building 2 at once, the first one is for Haggie since he did the lights and covered my bee. Now he can cover this one also

This is the Parts Sheet.

Here are the ribs cut out with the paper still glued on.

It Took a couple of hours to get the wing done

Almost done

While the wings are drying I started the Ailerons

Ailerons done

.

Check out the new wing joining system that they came out with. If you look the joiner it is attached to the main spars and has a hole in the middle for the carbon fiber tube. The back of the wing will have anti rotation dowls. You can make the rwing removable but I am not. It's a small profile

More to come stay tuned...

I was thinking of building one of these too. Did you buy the kit or just download the plans?

[phjoker]

I downloaded the plans. The guy wanted somewhere around $80.00 for the kit.
For $95 dollars I got all the wood and carbon fiber tube to make 2 kits. It just takes some time cutting out the pieces.
These are the pieces that have to be cut. I cant see paying $80 for those few pieces, some sticks and 3 sheets of balsa

Where did you get the tubes from?

[phjoker]

It was a kite building website. They had a ton of different sizes in all sorts of Lengths.
I will have to see if I can find it, I can't remember off the top of of my head what it was.

So are you cutting the wood yourself WOW - thats one thing i would like to try - just no time . lookin good

[phjoker]

It's not that bad. But then again I am building 2 at once. So yea it was a lot of wood to cut. No more stick building for me. I will stick to the kits after this one.

If you don't mind me asking where did you get your balsa and Fiber from? I am interested in building one of these myself

[phjoker]

I got the wood from http://www.nationalbalsa.com. They had the best prices around at the time, but they are closing their doors shortly going out of business.

I got the carbon fiber tube from http://www.goodwinds.com/. A ton of selections.


Elevator and stab are done.

Elevator/Stab

The nose section of the profile is made out of 1/4 balsa wood with A piece of 1/16 ply laminated to each side. Below all the sand bags is that nose section being laminated.

Nose

Now while the nose section is drying I am cutting and dry fitting the fuse. I don't want to glue anything untill I get the nose section done and fit everything first. The carbon tube does not get glued in untill the fuse is built. For now it's there for a fitting reference point
