only fitting, right Lurk?

As Γιώργο has saved me the bother of starting this thread all I will say is that this will only be a placeholder for the thread I started over on aeromodelling.gr before Γ donned his Father Christmas disguise and built this place for us to enjoy.  As it progresses I'll bump this thread.

Hi Lurk,

just a side note,

I cleaned up the test forum I had set up in aeromodelling.gr and moved your build thread to the free flight constructions board. Also edited the link in your previous post to the new location.

So you are free and welcome to continue wherever you prefer.

[TheLurker]

Thanks Γιώργο.

Bump!

Great thread lurk, very brave with the reflex tail


Shame the thread isn't on here in some ways as this one is becoming like driving down your average british road ....full of bumps

Hi Lurk,

Other than the somewhat dublication of effort, I see no problem posting on both forums. Here in english and there in greek/english. Same pictures set...

[TheLurker]

Another pothole.  Just for Chris.

[Squirrelnet]

Thanks Lurk...


That's a lot of Herring.. but I am told that's where Scotland gets it's brains from or at least that's what Ivor Cutler told me

In case you are wondering what an earth I'm going on about see below

Nice looking wheel construction btw

Where can I find the spoke lacing guide? Looks like a vital tool indeed!

Chris> ...that's a lot of Herring...
Havers man, it's only just enough.

Henk> Where can I find the spoke lacing guide?
The lacing pattern is the same as the one Γιώργο Κ gives in his spoked wheels PDF so, providing you've got some compasses, you can always draw it afresh for each wheel set.

I doubt you'll be shocked to know that I cheat and have an SVG file that lets me adjust the wheel diameters so I can resize and centre the "rims" for a new wheel set with the least expenditure of effort.  Joking aside it does mean if you make a mess of a lacing guide - no, I'm not going to tell you of all my mistakes, allow a chap some dignity - it's just a matter of reprinting it.

If you'd like a copy let me know your e-mail address (hit the envelope icon under my avatar) and I'll send you one.  Anything that understands and edits SVGs will do.  I use Inkscape.

Hi Henk,

Are you refering to the guide or the template?

The guide is here

I cannot help on the herrings though, you are better located for that...

Hey George,
Many thanks for the tutorial. Now I have to find an airplane with spoked wheels to model! If I do, I will be sure to use a two pound can of Greek olives for a weight!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  Who's a chump then?
