Balsa USA 1/3 Fly Baby Bipe Help
 

I am building a 1/3 scale Fly Baby Bipe and I have lost misplaced the manual. I need to know the how much the tips need to be raised on the lower wing. If anyone can help out I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Richard

Sorry for the bother I found it on the plans right under my nose.

Top Wing = 3/4"

Bottom Wing = 2 1/4"

Cheers

No problem Richard. Is that not centre on the leading edge?

Hi Bill

The dihedral is 2 1/4 inches at the last rib on the lower wing and 3/4 inches at the last rib on the upper wing.

This is one big A/C hope it fits in my Jeep....

Cheers

It's a monster Richard, should be fine once you rip all the seats out but your own.:itsok_170:

Cute Merv, :)

Richard you are going to love that plane when you get to fly it! I have one with the old Quadra 35 in it and it is a joy to fly, very scale. Happy New Year! Cheers, Glenn

Hi Glenn

I have the fuse all covered and the two wings now built ready for covering. It is a big A/C that's for sure. I have a Brison 2.4 in the nose. My friend Bill sold me a FG cowl and I have the cylinders from a 1/3 scale Sig Spacewalker. I am painting it up like the one I found from England.

Happy New Year to you also. Have a short winter!

How are you making out with the build Richard? I like the UK colors you have chosen. I have come across the pictures before and find they catch my eye more than the usual yellow and red. ( the colour mine is) Glenn
