  • SGS 1-35 data needed

    From Mark Mocho@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 5 10:18:18 2023
    I've been asked to determine whether I can come up with a WingRigger suitable for the SGS 1-35. I think I can print out a suitable airfoil profile using Airfoil Tools, but I need to get the chord length at about midspan, where the cradle will fit.
    Anybody have a source for a decent 3-view drawing? I did some internet searching but couldn't find one right away. Maybe I'm just too lazy or inept.

    Mark,

    Martin Simons book, Sailplanes 1965-2000, has an excellent 3-view of the 1-35. I'll copy it and send it to you.

    If need be, I know a 1-35 owner that can get dimensions.

    If you have a profile for an LS-3 the shape will be good and the chord just a little big. I expect it would work just fine.

    I have the standard from WingRigger.com, no issues using it. I set the WingRigger closer to the root than mid span, about 1/3 span from the root. Better balance, the wing rotor is heavier than the tip.
