Anyone got any ideas around when the switch was made from balscore to foam sandwich on the Libelle wings? Ian According to the Tech Note Summary for the 201 Libelle series on www.streifly.de, the balsa was replaced in the wing shells at serial 111 and on, in the ailerons at serial 113 and on, the rudder at serial 160 and on, and the elevator at serial 182 and on. Serial 182 and on had the new horizontal tail and I think that is when it went from straight GRP to sandwich construction. No core in the fuselage. I think it always had balsa core shear web in the main spar. Steve Leonard |
