WNW Taube

[eclarson]

Is it just me or are there not a lot of these being built?  Regardless, this is now on my bench.
Just so you know, updates may be sporadic as not only am I'm taking my time with this beauty but I'm having hip replacement surgery on Feb. 6 so will be out of commission for a while.



Cheers,
Eric

Great to see you making a start on this kit Eric, you are the first one on the forum to be building one. Good luck with your hip replacement, hope all goes well for you.

Eric,

First, hip replacements. A coworker’s husband has had two. He’s playing regular golf now. I’m sure you will be happy. Later.

Second, I will be following along with this build. I too have one but presently a Tamiya 1:48 F-14A is occupying my time. Too cold and windy to spray paint or airbrush so I am building the subassemblies and hand brushing the color.

I will probably be ready to start my Taube about the time you finish yours which will be a bar to aim for as usual.

Best regards,

Michael

Great plane! I also wonder why there are no more builds on our forum. Looking forward on your build.
I also cross my fingers for your surgery.

Your words are mine, Manni!
Eric, I am happy to see a Taube being built - finally!
All the best!

Cool choice. Nearly got one of these but the riging put me off - thought I'd better get a little more experience first!!!! Will be following for sure.

Monoplanes are pretty easy to rig, you don't have to mess about between a pair of wings

Eric,
   I too have a friend like Michael with two brand new hips and he golfs and skis like a youngster, hope it works as well for you! I'll be following this (first here) Taube Build with interest.
Cheers,

Just a bunch of wires.

Even so, monoplanes are far, far easier than biplanes to rig. You can see both ends of each wire as you fit them, and no messing about tying to get tools into the gap between the wings

You don't usually have to avoid getting one set of diagonals mixed up with another set going the other way too

Don't let the rigging put you off a Taube, there are far worse ones to do

It hasn't put me off. Just think I need a few more easier aircraft under my belt first  No point trying to run before I can walk....
