Sebart Wind S 50E was created by
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

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.

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
Simon
