Quote (google-translated from the Italian): "The model In my career as an aeromodeller I have built numerous rubber band biplanes and for years I had dreamed of building an electrically propelled RC version, but only with the advent of brushless motors which are capable of pushing large helicopters. that without the additional weight of a reducer, I was able to realize this idea with the Stampe SV4b project.

I chose to make it in 1:6 scale in order to also make it possible to build a good performance petrol engine version, powered by a 4-stroke OS .52. By bringing the design to a wingspan of 2100 mm you obtain a 1:4 scale like that of the model built on my project by R. Kraina who powered it with a Roto 20 cc petrol engine. The weight of his model is only 6.5 kg and the performances are absolutely realistic.

Both our models have a plastic and majestic flight with excellent flight characteristics. Compared to reality, the landing gear was moved forward because in the original position the model had a notable tendency to roll over upon landing. Kraina has ailerons on both wings, while I only have them on the lower wing, but they are still very effective.

The construction of the Stampe is relatively simple. The fuselage is made of 4x4 pine slat lattice, with some frames and a balsa and heat-shrink canvas covering. The upper and lower wings are similar in structure and shape and the empennages are very simple. The finishing is then entrusted to individual creativity, perhaps..."
