Will do Gary. Ready for covering now. Still potentially maiden on sunday ?

Hi Gary, hopefully they'll be a powered one in the future! Dan

Few more pics of the 60" With 95٪ of the build done, its coming in at 215g which i'm very happy at. Better to start off light and add ballast than start heavy!

No problem Piers Dan

Yes no problem, this is only the 1st one and i've already found a full page of things i need to change ? So i'll need to build another after this and do a manual but you will be first on the list Dan

I picked up all the wood today for the 60" slope version which i've started to put together. Weather looks promising for sunday so my aim is to have it built by then!

Hi Graeme, there isnt a plan as such, it all just slots together so there isnt much need for one. I can look into shipping for you if you'd like? Dan

Dave and David, when i get this wood delivered i'll be getting 10 kits cut. Would you like me to let you know when they're ready?

Hi Ron, yeah just trying something different with this one, i covered the bottom of the wings with white as well. Happy with the look, i'll probably do the 60" version this colour too. Dan

Great fun Ron, i'll put a few links to it flying. I fitted a motor to the 1st prototype which went well too. I keep it in the car and fly whenever i get the chance

Final version done! Kits will be available once the balsa arrives! I've drawn up a 60" version which should start putting together shortly

Steve, i used oracover lite which was great to use, it will probably get a tear here and there but being clear you'll barely see any repairs. Darker colours maybe. I've never used any laminating film, how is that applied? Nigel, they all push into slots on the leading and trailing edge and on the spar. Once thats on you then add the top and bottom spars, l.e sheeting etc.

  Tried to maiden at the weekend but it was too windy. Took it down the field last night in the flat calm and it went pretty well, looking forward to getting it on the slope!   Edited By David Ashby - Moderator on 08/07/2020 05:59:25
