Akaflieg Braunschweig SB-11

Hallo,

Interessieren sich jemand für ein baut Bericht einer 1:3 Skala SB-11?

Ich spreche nicht oder schreibe Deutsch und brauchen Hilfenübersetzung von Englisch zu Deutsch.

Dank!

Mike

Such a report would certainly be read by many with delight. Machine translations are awful to read, however. I'd suggest that you write in English (most have at least a rudimentary grasp of the language), and that those who can't understand that send the text through a translation tool themselves.

Thank you, Markus. Here is some information about the sailplane:

The SB-11 is variable geometry, FAI 15-meter racing class sailplane built by the Akaflieg Braunschweig in Germany for the 16th World Gliding Championships in Chateauroux, France.

The glider was flown by multi-time world champion Helmut Reichmann who ultimately won the event in 1978. The SB-11 competed against the ASW-20, LS-3 and Mini-Nimbus, the 15-meter class ships of that era.

The front portion of the fuselage was built in the Alexander Schleicher ASW-19 (some reports say the ASW-20) molds with the boom, vertical fin, rudder and horizontal stab using the tooling from the Schempp-Hirth two-place Janus sailplane.

Sincere thanks to OSTIV President Loek Boermans and the students at the Akaflieg Braunschweig for providing documentation for the project.

Hopefully this will be an enjoyable build to follow,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Of course there is a lot of interest for such a report. Will you build a full-scale wing with functional Fowler-flaps? Guess you know the book documentation of the SB-series? Interesting details of the different building technologies applied on each of the planes.

Good luck with your project....

Thank you, Frank. Yes, I will be attempting to recreate the Fowler flaps which will be challenging. The fuselage molds and a fuselage have already been built. I will post photos of that process when I get a chance.

Hello,

ich habe vor 30 Jahren auch eine SB 11 nachgebaut und dazu Kontakt mit der Akaflieg gehabt. Die Kollegen dort haben mit die Jahresschrift zur 11 geschickt. Darin sind viele Infos mit Bildern und Text. Ich kann dir das einscannen und per mail schicken, nächste Woche auch als Pdf zum übersetzen.
Bilder meiner 11 müsste ich auch noch haben.

Viel Spaß

Jörg

In dem Buch der Akaflieg Braunschweig ist der Aufbau sehr detailliert beschrieben. Überhaupt interessant, die Bauweise bei den ersten GFk-Fliegern zu sehen.

Gruß

Jörg,

I am not the first to build a model of the SB-11! That is a surprise.

Please post photos of your glider when you get a chance.

If you would like to email them or other information to me, send them to michaeljdeleo@gmail.com

Sincerely,

Mike

Hi,

@ Lars: die Bilder zeigen meine SB 11 aus den Jahren 1982-1984, Maßstab 1:5. Von der Akaflieg hatte ich damals Bilder und das Jahrbuch bekommen, das zeigt das SW Bild. Weitere scans möchte ich hier nicht einstellen, Urheberrecht und so....

Viele Grüße

Jörg

Jörg,

Thank you for the information you posted and that which you emailed to me. That will be very helpful during the build.

Here are some photos of the fuselage mold.

Mike

Attached are some photos of the first fuselage pulled from the mold.

Mike,

go ahead!!! Most interesting!

Herbert

P.S. I am familiar with your "yyz" from RCG

The fin is built in foam molds using a carbon/Rohacell/carbon sandwich. All construction from here forward is in real-time.

Hello, is there anything new about the sb-11?
