International group to order a full metal scale Blanik L13 - L23 model

People are asking they would like to see some finished parts, to verify the level of quality and detail the final model should have, so Mr Fidel has sent me some more photos on test parts he has been designing and cutting.    The first step if sourcing information and images of the parts, and then spend many hours with the computer and CAD program, to trace each part. Then more hours, verifying the parts will match each other. Once he is satisfied, he will cut them in 0,3 aluminum with a CNC router to get maximum precision. Then he will fold and bend parts to final shape. Final parts will be mostly bent and folded with jigs and folding machine. 

Mr Fidel has been working these days in making some trial pannels with all the detailed rivets, and has build a firt test for the tail Hope you like the images!!!

  The intention of this blog, if making an easy way for people to join a group of interested buyers for a high end all metal scale of a Blanik L13 or L23 model glider.   I have been in contact for long time with Mr Fidel Rama, master designer and builder of full metal scale planes, all made out of very thin (about 0,30mm lithography aluminum) and tiny rivets. He is as far as I know, the only designer and builder worldwide of metal planes. Others make metal planes for themselves, but not commercially   So far, Mr Fidel under the brand name Alumodels ( www.alumodels.com ), has made many different models, ranging from 2 to 4m wingspan, always petrol powered. Overtime, the precision and detail of this panels and creation has become astonishing. Most of this models are ARTF or RTF   He has never made a sailplane, and I have been encouraging him to do so for some time. He said that problem with sailplanes is weigh (normal), and that even thinner sheet has to be...
