SD2 "Wings"

[butterfly]

A quick squizz at the book says that the filling is 0.225kg?? (plus a gaine pot too i guess?)
Just do the math against an empty charge and the fuze then 'Presto!' i would have thought?

Paul you are correct with the wieght of filling ( I also have 7.5 - 8oz imperial, stated in manuals)

Trouble is the content was negligable in the SD2 the total weight is 2.2kg. That is the weight of a complete filled SD2. The trouble is there are too many variables to trust the wieghing method - not one to be trusted in my opinion. Though I realise Phil is trying to help here.

Dan, you have an incomplete set of wings, no complete arming rod and not sure what lies underneath the fuze. The weights given for a complete unit, are just that, wings, rod, gaine - everything (unless anyone knows different)

The weights are just too small in the case of an SD2 (don't let heart rule head!!!)

My advice - get confirmation with the seller - if he won't commit an answer then take the safe route. There are other SD2 bodies out there for sure. Lifes short enough.

I would also like to advise anyone to make sure components fully strip before commiting to buy- if the buyer won't show pics of dis-assembled item - stay well away!!

I hope all turns out well.

kind regards
Kev

The postie arrived today with my new SD2 project from Germany. As you can see from the pics a fair amount work is required. The main issue here is the missing "Butterfly" Paddle wings which I am hoping to source via the forum (fingers crossed). The other thing is the arming wire which is missing the top part, again I would like to find original if I can.

The springs will also need replacing and I wonder if the Satan may be able to help here as he seems to have solved most of these problems before.

It wasn't cheap but I liked the look of it so thought I would treat myself.

Dan you can get repro arming wires on Specialist auctions (or the "dugup" site).

Real ones are tricky to find.

Thanks chaps, this has turned into more of a project than I ever envisaged!

The seller has not confirmed but he could be stuck somewhere waiting for flight for all I know, I will ask again, strikes me to be pretty stupid to sell then post something like this assuming it is live! and it may not be, but he really needs to comment either way.

Are people really that thick??
