Just wanted to give you a sneak peek of the future kits i have lined up for this coming year at this time. I will be posting specs/details in Vendors Corner and on my Wings On Strings website very soon.
The top two are pictures of Allan Brickhaus's Scepter
The bottom picture is a Spinks Akromaster.
All wings are built up wings...not foam.

Jim should take a close look at the alignment of the stab.

Nice Mike!
Wondering if you know what % of wing area the Stab/elevator area is on the Scepter
Thanks
-
Mike,
You're doing good things! Kudos!!
Hey! I see you offer Wing Kits, correct? Or at least Rib Sets, correct?
Might be a good idea to list the measurements of the completed wing? I don't know the models. n~
Having measurements would help those that may need a wing for their own design. With changes.
Span, root cord, tip cord, airfoil thickness and LE setback is all you need.
I'll need a wing soon for a project. I hate building wings.
Thanks,
Charles

Allen is in the process of sending me all the data and specs on it...will get it posted as soon as I get them. Good looking plane and Allen says the numbers on it are good.

Hi Charles
On my website - www.wingsonstrings.com - I have Specification page for every model I list on the website that gives you the span, area and length of the model as well as the power ranges. I do not list the root chord, tip chord and airfoil thicknesses because there are so many kits available. It is mostly a time consumption problem. Perhaps if you could tell me what you want then maybe I could get the information for you....
Thanks
Mike

The Scepter is kinda close to The Brodak Legacy,(which is a modified Genesis).
-
Here is another one of Allen Brickhaus's designs I will be adding to future kits. THE PIRATA.
Notice the dotted line on the rudder in the plans picture .. the rudder will be reduced in size to that dotted line.
-
Here are some specs you will be wanting on the future kits
SCEPTOR - Precision aerobatic stunter
Span - 59 7/8"
Wing Area - 675 Sq In
Nose Moment' - 10"
Tail Moment - 16.5"
Stab/Elevator - 23.5% of wing and flap area - 150 Sq In stab and elevator
flying weight - 59.5"
Power - 40 - 75 Piped - Evolution .61 non piped
It is NOT classic or Nostalgia 30 legal -
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PIRATA - see picture of line drawing above. all specs are there
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Pollock SPINKS AKROMASTER
Span - 52"
Area - 550 Sq In
Nose Moment - 8 1/2"
Tail Moment - 14 3/4"

The Scepter is kinda close to The Brodak Legacy,(which is a modified Genesis).
The Legacy is definitely not a modified Genesis, rather, it's based on the larger Buccaneer, and incorporating changes in airfoil, percentages, and moments.

Gonna ask Allen on that one.

If there's a waiting list for the Scepter, I want to be on it. #^

Thanks Mike! H^^

You are welcome

I agree with Randy -
Check the Stab alignment - its WAY OUT.
My eyeball estimate is : Its over 2 " out...

Might possibly be distortion from the camera lens length...a wide angle lens can do some strange stuff. H^^ Steve
