I have just been given a KA6E 1/5 scale sailplane manufactured by Rodel Modellbau. I do not know the age but it looks fairly old. The wings are in very bad shape construction wise and I think it would be easier to build new ones.
The problem I have is that the plans do not give a profile of the ribs with which to make a template- there are 32 different ribs per wing. Does anyone have a plan showing all the rib profiles ,or can you offer a suggestion as how to go about fabricating a new wing?
The dimensions are as follows:
KA6E
1/5 scale
Wing span 3200 mm. ( 126 in. )
Thanks
