Wings in ribbed construction (PoD)

Classic wing construction as it is in the book: with spars, ribs, leading and trailing edge fillets, edge bends, stringing or that is the subject of this work.

Although the development of new materials has led to the fact that the wings of model airplanes can be manufactured in other types of construction, the method of rib construction is indispensable, for example, for old-timers. after all, the great prototypes were manufactured in exactly the same way.

The author knows the constructions of the original and the model inside out and passes on his wealth of experience here. In an easy to understand text and a large number of excellent drawings and photos are shown, which basic possibilities there are, which material and tools are necessary, how one builds the parts of a wing, assembles and covers or planks and finally connects the finished wing with the airplane. The linkage of flaps and rudders, the operation of the landing gear, and the installation of the rudder machines are also discussed in detail, and tips for repairs help after rough landings.

In detailed sequences of pictures, the reader can follow the construction of wings in every detail, and detailed working plans and checklists help him to realize his own objects.

From the light-wind model to the 4-meter glider and the oldtimer – with this book, you can build the perfect airfoil.
