Sixth Sense STD

Thu Jan 31, 2013 8:00 pm

Hi!
I just shared this at GWTW forum and I thought I should do the same here,
as this forum was also very helpful while building my Sixth Sense.

Just finished. Not tested in flight yet.
I changed the panel scheme a bit to add a bit of black to the wings.

Framing specified as STD competition:

Upper leadind edge: P200
Lower leadind edge: P300
Upper spreader: Structil 6mm
Lower spreader: 5pt
Spine: P200
Stand Off: 3mm carbon
Ballast on tail: 25g

The sail is nylon spy (32g/sqm) + dacron instead of icarex.

A few details:

Sail grabbers / reinforcement

And some picures from the building process:

Now waiting for the weather to give it a try...

I am aware that many of this forum users are also using GWTW yet I will repeat myself ;)
I really appreciate all the ideas, solutions and thoughts shared in this forum!
It was a great help while building! Thanks! :)

Great build with neat stitching. Is this your first ever build?

I think the first done quite properly.
Before this one I built Christian Derefat's l'Organic.
It was built very fast and not that precise in the matter of details.
No panels except from wingtips.
Still it flies quite well...
