Sebart Wind S 50E

Some time ago I acquired an untouched kit for a Wind S 50E. The only downside is the instructions for assembly are missing!
I have searched around online and on Sebart site but cannot find a full set of assembly instructions. Any ideas as to how I can get hold of the instructions?
Many thanks
Simon

There are some files on the Sebart website - photos - intro and a video

I'm pretty sure I've still got the instructions that came with mine.will let you have them if you would like them in hard copy.

That would be great Simon. Thank you.

Simon, give some thought to the control linkages, especially on the elevator, I cut out a bigger slots so that I could uses to shortest hole on the servo arm, I think JRI made new taller horns for his control surfaces. if you go with the setup as instructed in the manual you will have enough control surface throw to 3D it! But if you have no intention of doing that then you effectively throw away a lot of the servo travel reducing the precision.

But I am basing this on my MythoS 50, but looking at the manual I think the Wind S and MythoS are essentially the same in this respect.

Oh and I spent ages faffing about with trying to get the rudder on a pull pull system, because I felt I could not get the CofG right with a servo in the tail, in the end I could balance it with a servo in the tail, which for me feels better. But different servos and batteries are different weights so play around and see what looks like it will work for you.

Another thing, if you're happy to spend a few pounds, try a Sullivan tail wheel bracket rather than the one provided, I think it reduces the pounding the rudder servo gets as the tail wheel bumps over the rough ground.

Many thanks for the advice Chris. Unfortunately I'm not a very competent builder so if it's ok with you I will seek clarification and "how to" from you once I start putting it together.
Cheers

By the way Chris, did you use Savox servos? If so, which ones please.
Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,

No I shelled out for the HV versions of the JR Servos they recomend, but it was not exactly a satisfying experience, three went back, and took a very long time to get returned to me!

If I were to do it again I would go for the Savox servos, I think JRI has put these in my spare plane that he's holding on to for me, while occasionly pretending to do some F3A practice.

3x Savox SC-1251MG
2x Savöx SH-1250MG

There are recommended for the MythoS on Hacker's site and I believe the recommended servos for the WindS and MythoS are the same.

Or, and this is just from memory, I think MacGregor brought out a range of 'wide voltage' servos that seem competitively priced compared to the Savox and a bargain compared to the JR servos... I always meant to check to see if they were similar specs to the the JR's, so it might be worth having a look.

I've attached a pick of the enlarged slots in the tail.

Am I remembering correctly that you've got an Extreme Flight Motor and ESC for it?

Great memory there Chris, yes you are quite right. Thanks for the info on the Savox. And the tail slot detail.
