Vincents plans(Unrau)

[AdrianB]

.As a new member in the UK ,I have been catching up on past topics and came across the discussion on Vincents plans.
I had a look at the Boulton and Paul Defiant. Not an aircraft you see modelled.
It appears that the fold lines on the wing parts are in the wrong place. Surely they should be on the top surface which fold over and not on the bottom which should remain flat.
Otherwise it looks a fairly straight forward build
Thanks in advance for any comments.
Have a good Xmas.

I believe the marks you see on the wing bottom are only for the foam and ply spar locations and are not fold marks. It also appears the fold marks for the wing top are not added. After installing the spars, you could do a lead edge wing fold and where the wing meets the spar you could mark the ends of the spars on the inside of the wing top, then use a straight edge to draw the wing fold marks.

I took measurements of the spar locations (and wing dimensions in the fuse) and used them to add the upper folds to the plans.
NOTE!: I HAVE NOT built this plane and HAVE NOT proven the added fold lines to be absolutely correct. That said, I do believe it will work. SO be cautious during that step of the build and make adjustments if needed.
Please, let me know of any issues if you decide to use the added lines in the pdf.
(The pdf only has the 3 wing parts with added fold lines)

Thanks very much for adjusting the plan. I will check before cutting.
It is I suspected.
You have done exactly what I was going to do.
I laser cut my parts, so it will be the New
Year before I get it done
Keep you informed.
Just for info. I am registered as a Junior member but am 87 yrs old.

LOL, a members 'age' is measured in posts and participation not years. How does it feel to be young again?!?

So happy to see Unrau's plans getting some love. The man was a machine and produced some impressive planes.
