@@chrisgaalen Thanks Chris, this is a very beautiful model.

@@birgiredwald Thanks, the credits go to my father who build it in 1977. Last year i put it back to life with new motor (Roto85fs) and electronics. Now it flies beautifull.😀

Yes, I agree. I was worried about the strength. The threads are carrying a considerable pull to hold the wings in place and I wanted to be sure the the fastenings would hold. A suggestion for a better solution is welcomed.

​Steelwire and bolt on to the wingspar will do the job. Have a 3,15m wingspan Proctor Antic 💪🤟.​@@birgiredwald

@@chrisgaalen Thanks Chris. Could you post a picture of this?

@birgiredwald Yes but how?

@@chrisgaalen My email is on my website: flugmodel.weebly.com/ You could also put it on YT and post a link here 🙂

Well, maybe not the easyest but... ua-cam.com/video/9MyTwPDC4FM/v-deo.htmlsi=tAooXWY-O7trKsN7

Thanks Jason Can you explain your comment a little bit more. As you may have noticed English is not my first language and I'm not getting this. B.

Thank you, Scott I hoped to be able to fly it this summer, but the weather here in the North Atlantic has been very rainy and windy all summer. There are some old flying video on my channel though: ua-cam.com/video/9MyTwPDC4FM/v-deo.html B.

Well, he’s been a bit silence ever since 🙂

@@birgiredwald Well, I'm sure he had to go change his shorts.

Thanks for the comment Dean, it’s very encouraging. Once I managed to take off and land without ruining anything. Please take a look: ua-cam.com/video/Fw7wuoo2Nro/v-deo.htmlsi=neGcS1INzUhWWpgw B.

Thanks Nick Hopefully it'll get some days of good weather to practice this summer. B.

Thanks for the comment. I think I will give this idea some thought. Any recomended brand? The rebild is almost done 🙂 B

How on earth did I fly for the past 48 years without a gyro?

You're the slow one here....

This one was built in 2015, but it has had a few "heavy" landings before :-)

Thanks for the comment, Denny The model is a scratch build. Built by a David Boddington plan. The plan can be bought at: adhpublishing.com/shop/store/products/bleriot-xi-plan-mf257/ Kveðja, Birgir

Thanks 🙂

Many thanks!

Tack för kommentaren Martin I would love to hear more about the build. Are you building a kit or are you building from a blueprint? Will you be using a glow engine or an electric? You can find my email address on the front page of my website: flugmodel.weebly.com Hälsningar, Birgir

😊

Thank you very much :-)

Hello Christoph and thank you for the question. The model is built by a plan made by David Boddington. That plan can still be bought from adhpublishing.com/shop/store/products/bleriot-xi-plan-mf257/ More information can be found at my website flugmodel.weebly.com B

Hi and thanks for the question. The CoG is about 14 cm from the LE edge which is about 4.5 cm behind the spot suggested by D. Boddington, the designer. I now have 425 gr. of lead up front. Even though the CoG seems to be a little aft the strange thing is that the model needs a little up elevator. Remember the split elevator has a large moving area. Happy flying B. forums.modelflying.co.uk/sites/3/images/member_albums/126843/801851.jpg

Thanks :-)

Thanks for the question Antonio This is a 48” span Keil Kraft, Mini Super, a smaller version of super 60 that David Boddington made in the sixties 😊. It has a ASP 21A engine today. B.

Thanks Marián The plans can be bought from: adhpublishing.com/shop/store/products/bleriot-xi-plan-mf257/ You can also find some more pictures on my web flugmodel.weebly.com/smiacuteethin3.html The web is in Icelandic but Google translate can be of a great help, that is if you do not read Icelandic 😊 B

Thanks for your question. The model has a SC30FS engine and 425 gr. of lead up front. The CoG is at 13 cm from the leading edge. Less ballast and a bigger engine might be an option worth considering. :-) B.

Thanks 😊

Gracias 😊

Thanks for the comment. I agree on the wooden propellar. I have a Turnigy 10x4 wooden proppeller ready but have been using a Robbe 10x5 plastic one while building currage and competence. The SC 30 FS engine has marginal power similar to your OS. I can see in one of your videos that you have been using a 10x5 wooden prop and a plastic one also. How do they compare? B

@@birgiredwald Unfortunately I had to replace the engine with a 6.5cc 4 stroke as it couldn't take off. I have yet to test it. ua-cam.com/video/c7vMluJFCz8/v-deo.html

It has also crossed my mind to do so 🙂. I'm looking forward to a video of that test.

Thanks 🙂

When in Iceland....

@@birgiredwald Wonderful country!

The build took almost a year 👍

@@birgiredwald Yes, I watch your videos and am very impressed with the resulting model. Very beautiful!

Thanks Larry

Thanks. You should definitely make your own wheels. It is fun and not so difficult.

Thanks for your comment. I look forward to see some build videos on your channel. 👍

Thank you very much! :-)

@@birgiredwald No,I thank you,gives me sumthin to aspire to ! How do you find that little 30,FS ? One of mine performs well,the other, sadly does not ? Both new ? Well,back then, can't get'em now. A 'Q',what are you currently building ? As I turn up at the strip with many different models,my pal said ,'Norm,how many kite's do you have ?',I said I really don't know ??? So one day I went from room to room counting them,the answer = 57 ! That's not including the garage or loft ! I may require therapy,I know that,but for now I'm content.Just wish the wind would drop . Happy Landins Amigo !

The SC30FS got stronger as I ran it in but I haven’t started it for some time now. Currently I’m not building anything. I have come to the conclusion that my flying skills are lacking a lot behind my building skills so this summer I will try to improve my flying skills. I have a lot fewer models, but you can see them at my website flugmodel.weebly.com Some of them have of course passed away :-)

@@birgiredwald Hi ! Look up Nice flight from the HOEA model flying Club, along with One snowy day,(same place in the snow).Long before drone's were about I took these aerial vids. The model was just a glider,cost me £5,I cut the front off and fitted an OS 10.it performs well. I hope you find and enjoy the film's. With your skill your workbench should be in continual use ! Pick a nice Parasol Monoplane next,I always liked that set up. Happy Landins.

Thanks, Norman If you would like to see more of this model there is a playlist at: ua-cam.com/play/PLtQRC43nU2v4cHNDJ7QpRCMgJ68pmUSTt.html B

@@birgiredwald Thank you.I shall enjoy looking at the extra footage.It really is a fine model built to a very high standard.I have a couple of 30 four-stroke engine's ( I have no interest in electric powered model's,they might be all the rage and fashionable,but not for me !),an S C and the lookalike ASP one,same thing really.Engines are increasingly difficult to come by, luckily over the year's I've managed to accumulate quite a collection ! Yet still people come over to enjoy the aroma from my diesel fuel ! Lol. Happy Landins Amigo !

Thanks, more videos of this model can be seen at: ua-cam.com/play/PLtQRC43nU2v4cHNDJ7QpRCMgJ68pmUSTt.html

Thanks for your remarks. Enjoy building. 😊

Thanks - yes, it's hanging in the ceiling of my garage, waiting for spring to come :-)

Thanks Douglas Well, yes, I would think so. The wings on this model are flexible enough to accept the warping but the mechanics needed to implement it are most likely a bit more complicated than one would think in the beginning. Mr. Boddington did not implement wing warping in his plans and I doubt that it would help flying the model. However, the challenge to try it is very compelling. :-) B.
