Spline F3B

Thanks for the smileys....

Jan

Hello France

We have Splined some servoplates for the Splines now...

Jan

How can you sleep having the fuselage mould in the garage without any final parts ????

Hello Laurent.

You are right, John has made one testfuselage from only glassfibre to test the joining method, and the next one with carbon in will come out of the mould tommorov.

For sure we will post some pictures of that one on the homepage....

About not sleeping, when I made the servoplates and cores last weekend, I started saturday evening at 21.00 o´clock, and got home in bed at 5.30 sunday morning..... I have to mill when the machine are empty from real work....

Nice to hear that you follow our project

Jan

Hello Jan,

We all follow your project!
It just leaves us speachless...
So much work involved.
I've milled some F3B molds in the past but they were definitely much simpler.
You've done an amazing job at going into all small details that makes your design stand out of the crowd already.

Keep us posted pliiiiiiiiiiz

Hello Francois.

Thanks for your nice words !!! I am lucky having a job (Toolmaker/Tooldesigner) that gives me the opportunity to make a project like this, I know it would be impossible without the possibilities I have at my job.

We also choosed to make as much as possible of holes etc, in the moulds, to make the "manual work" after demoulding of the parts as little as possible, both it is nice to have when first the moulds are made, makes the job per model smaller, and second all the holes will fit exactly without the manual work of doing holes afterwards.

Hello Jan

Will the Spline be the official glider for your national team ?

Laurent

Hello Laurent.

First it will only be me and John that will fly the Spline.

It is also not sure if Denmark will go to the WC this year.

Just took some pictures of the first glaafibre testfuse exclusive for the French speaking gliderpilots.... But I strogle with this French forum to get the pictures shown...

Hmm , just see that I have put a picture in here before....... Must try a little more...

Jan

to add a picture, just write this :

hmm , but my pictures don´t lye on a www.xxxxx page..... but on my computer????? I also tried the upload button, but it fails....

Anyway, I have got pictures from John now of the first "real" Spline Fuselage, see the webpage www.spline.dk

Have a look

Jan

Hi,
Yes you should first upload your picture on a website like http://imageshack.us/ (it's very easy). Anyway, I went on your website and took a look at the first fuselage pics! What an amazing job, it's really beautiful. With such a mould the result could not be bad
Keep posting news (wherever you want ) it's very interesting!!!

Hello Guillaume

I don´t remember I uploaded the picture of the Wingpositive in this thread to any other website????

But but, no big deal about that, and thanks also for your nice words.

The first fuselages do have some cosmetic errors, but by time it will be better offcourse.

Jan

Du nouveau sur le site du Spline ici: http://www.spline.dk/spline-building.html
Construction du Stab en V, c'est superbe!!
Congratulations Jan When are coming the wings??

Hello Guillaume.

The positives for the wings is still not milled, the alublocks are lying at my work just waiting to that time where these 3 things happen at the same weekend :

The Makino milling machine don´t have so much "real" work to do,
and
My college that is running the Makino has a weekend availableto to help me,as I cannot run the Makino myself,
and
That I have a weekend available.......

So when all these 3 things are fullfilled in a weekend the positives will be milled and then the work on the last parts for the Spline is ongoing.....

Regards from Denmark
Jan

Hello Cedric.

I have been to China on holiday the last 2 weeks, therefore no updates yet.

Polishing of the positive for the uppersides is ongoing, and the positive for the undersides is not milled yet.

You will for sure get to know whenever there is something new to show.

John and I are eager to see the Spline flying too.....
