April 7, 2004 - Test Fit of Wings

Flitzerpiloten,

I have great pleasure herewith, in sending this superb picture of Rupert's Z-21 Flitzer 'Roundtail' with all four wings trial fitted for the first time.

Rupert informs me that they all fitted at the roots with ease, which is exactly as it should be!

Just visible in the picture are the neatly formed pressings in the aluminium decking panels to accommodate the cabane root fittings.

Unfortunately Rupert will not be exhibiting his Flitzer at Kemble this year, but hopefully we'll all be able to seen the SK26 at the Show. Logistics permitting and with Rupert's approval, perhaps it would be possible to arrange for some of those visiting the Rally, who might be interested to view Rupert's Z-21, to be ferried to the workshop, where this project is situated.

Personally I can hardly wait to see it again.

Thanks Rupert.

Best wishes,

Lynn

Hello Flitzerfans,

Here's the latest from Rupert's Z-21 project. Pictures of his polished windscreen framing! This is a superb example of the close attention to detail perfection and craftsmanship that shines in every aspect of his beautiful machine.

Best wishes,

Hi Flitzer folk.

Attached are a few pictures of my Z21 taken today. I'm assembling the aeroplane as far as I can in order to carry out a CG calculation ahead of building the engine mount. Notice it is now sporting press formed 0.8mm ply cable shrouds on the fus sides, I think they work...
