For anyone who would rather dig up the plan themselves rather than use the link provided...do a search in this forum for Ethereal lady or Vic Smead and a topic titled Vic Smead Models with a .pdf of the plan should turn up.
Remember, "just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not following you." |

Worked for me too. But I am not on a PC so don't run virus software.
It is quite possible that some random selection of bytes within the PDF matches a virus signature. I don't know of ANY PDF's being used to transport a virus though, and this one displays cleanly. |

Ethereal Lady
I found this link to another thread which includes pictures of the Vic Smeed models, including Ethereal Lady.
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=841559 BTW I had no problems with the PDF file either. |

30” Keil Kraft Cadet
Here is my last model; a 30” Keil Kraft Cadet.
To make the belly less puncture prone, instead of following the plan and building it with stick and tissue, I carved it from a piece of foam which I covered with light paper tissue and painted with acrylic yellow. Nose ballast consists of a two channel micro radio, one Lipo cell and two micro servos for a total weight of 94 grams. May be she is a bit heavy but the glide is nice. |

Guizo, that's a very pretty little Cadet.
I notice the completed model's tail is different from the one under construction have you made two ? I like the idea of using foam for the belly, I have a KK Chief, the Cadet's big brother. It's due to be refurbished I might try the same modification. Cheers Pat. |

Pat, you are right. I was trying to use a bitcharger R/C conversion to control the model but unfortunately I did not succeed!
Most probably I have too many thumbs on my hands and working with such small coils and magnets was not as simple as I thought! Using micro servos I could modify the rudder and elevator to increase control authority. Good hint to glass the foam on your Chief, since I would suggest paper-covering on small models only. I suppose that the picture you have posted is quite old, otherwise I do not see the need to refurbish such a lovely model! |

Guizzo, the picture of the Chief was taken about 7 years ago. Since then fuselage tissue has been torn in a few places. I think overall it looks pretty drab & could do with a freshen up - I'll probably use Litespan also fibreglass underneath the forward area as suggested. Worse still, it's covered in tissue over mylar which has become detached from the underside wing spar due to the undercamber. Also the elevator & rudder control have never been very satisfactory so some mods needed there.
Otherwise it's perfect. |
