Swift S-1 Sailplane model in 1:33 scale

This is a link for a display model of the Swift S-1, the 1991 aerobatic
design.

Downloaded as a pdf file,
printed out on cardstock or photo paper,
cut out with a sharp #11 X-Acto blade,
and glued together with white glue "Elmers" etc.

Note: Set up for A4 paper,
adjust your printer accordingly.
8 1/2 x 11 cover stock will do fine.

White model- uses very little ink.
From JM precision cardmodels.
Same people also do a Duo Discus.
Excellent work!

Want to start with something a bit easier?
www.fiddlersgreen.net has a low cost,
quick-build Bergfalke IV they call "Sailplane"
Also a good source for "How to Build Paper Model" tutorials.

Great, this is my plane! :-)
Please send my picures after you´ve finished the model!

Regards,
Markus

PS: For reference, HB-3169 is now reregistered as D-3169. And the design
will change too (not yet clear what, but the blue strip is already gone)!

Hi,

I have built it yesterday after following the link but I'm sure you don't
want pictures of it. I'm not a pro in cardmodel building so it's not very
smooth and only black and white. But it was fun building it and it can even
fly a bit if the C/G is set right!

Greetings, Erik.

Hi Erik,
Good to hear, where are you from?
I´ll try and build it myself, if I should find the time...
Right now the "real thing" needs some tender loving care! ;-)

Have a look at www.segelkunstflug.net for some pictures of the original
(sorry, german only).

Regards,
Markus

Hi,

I'm from Germany, living near Ludwigsburg to be exact. I would have liked it
better if the model had been a LS1 like mine, so if anyone finds one,
please let me know!
But before building the next model plane, the big one has to be finished.

Greetings, Erik.
