Hi I would like to find a copy of the Hegi Twen glider plan. Please can anyone help? There is very little information on web searches on this glider. I had a Twen many years ago and would like to build another. Regards Gordon p.s. Sorry about posting in English on a Dutch forum.
No problem. And welcome too If you are having difficulties reading Dutch you can use automatic translation e.g. Google Translate
Gordon, User "Gait" has a Hegi Twen I think. You could send him a PM Modelbouwforum.nl - Bekijk profiel: gait Also user Jakkie takkie has a fairly large amount of digital plans. I will speak to him tomorrow and will ask. Cheers Arjan
Hi Gordon, I've been searching this forum a little and found a small topic about this glider. Like PH_AJH said, Gait has this glider and perhaps he has some plans to build one. Here you can find the particular topic, although it's in Dutch, it might help you a little: welke-zwever-dit I believe it's a 1973 vintage glider? Gr, Rene
Hi Gordon, Yes i've the plan of the twen. I have to admit that the plan is a little damaged due to its age and usage in building the plane. However I'll try to stick it together with tape and will make a copy of it. Please send me a mail in my box with your adress and i'll take care to send you a copy. Br. Gait
Hello gait, I'm also interested in the Hegi Twen glider plan. The thread is rather old, but maybe you are still active in this forum and read this post. I would be glad to get a copy of the plan from you. Sorry for posting in english... regards alfred
Hi Alfred, Yes Alfred, I’m stil active on this forum. I’ll check if I have a copy for you. I’ll return to you in a private message. Gr. Gait
Hello Gait, thank you very much! Hopefully I will find the right button to read private messages without speaking dutch... gr. alfred

Since there is more interest in this plan, I decided to scan the plan and make it available to you all. Follow-up coming week. gr Gait
To all members in this topic asking for the plan a conversation have been opened and a link to the plan is included. enjoy building! Gr. Gait
Hi Gait, thank you so much! I have already downloaded the plan, it seems to be of excellent quality! I cannot find the new conversation in this forum, could you give me a link to it? I probably will re-construct the model in my 3D-CAD-programm just for fun and create a set of Files for milling most of the parts. If somebody else will also build this nice model, I think it would be nice to see some pictures during the building process of the different models. Best regards Alfred
Heb gelijk nog even een vraagje is de 1400mm span incl romp breedte En kun je aangeven wat de totaal lengte is van de romp. Alvast bedankt Ton
Ton, ik heb net even opgemeten: romp is 4 cm breed, de 1400 mm spanwijdte haalt het toestel niet: een vleugelhelft van mij is 645 mm de totale spanwijdte komt daarmee op 133 cm De wortelribbe is 140mm. Mocht je hem in Cad zetten, dan ben ik geinteresseerd. gr Gait
Dank voor de afmetingen, waar heb je de romp gemeten is dat ter hoogte van de vleugel. Heb nu de romp op 39,07mm en ter hoogte van de vleugel 43,20mm, de beide vleugeldelen tegen de romp gezet en de totaal span op 1400mm gezet. De koorde komt dan op 145,63mm om exact te zijn en een vleugel delen worden dan 677,48mm. Heerlijk al die afwijkingen van die oude tekeningen, alleen maar grappig om daarmee te stoeien en wat leuks van te maken. Ga de constructie ook een beetje aanpassen met spantjes, om het bouwen wat gemakkelijker te maken, hoewel de originele constructie ook erg leuk is. Als ik klaar ben gaat de file naar RBC om een kitje te frezen en heb ik mijn Hegi Twen. Zal een super leuke aanwinst zijn naast mijn andere retro en vintage modellen. Gr Ton
