Tempo_II-GuZIP.JPG[/attachment]A photo of the prototype Tempo II, taken in 1961. The A-26 fuselage was longer and deeper for more capacity and to allow passengers to stand and walk erect inside the fuselage. Wing tip fuel tanks were added to increase flight range.

The 2-view of the Super-26 was edited in MSpaint to form this image.
This pattern was printed to a piece legal sized card stock and to a legal sheet of paper. The card stock copy is cut up to make patterns for cutting balsa and the paper copy will be marked up as we decide how we will build the model.

The card patterns are traced onto balsa sheet (1/16 for the fuse, doublers, wing, and 1/32 for the tail surfaces). The balsa parts are cut and now we have a ZIP kit for the Super-26.

Horizontal tail dihedral is formed. Vertical tail is attached to fuselage. The fuselage is cut into two pieces.
Wing dihedral is formed. One of the nose doublers is glued to the fuselage.
The other doubler is glued to the forward fuselage. Wing mounting slots are cut in the rear fuselage and nose.

The tail section is slid into the the 3-piece sandwich forming the nose section. This captures the wing securely to the fuselage and allows moving the wing fore and aft for minor trimming.
A platform is made at the tail for mounting the horizontal tail.
The Super-26 ZIP model is ready for a test flight.

Test flight of the Super-26 went well, which is typical of these simple ZIP gliders.
