Matt Storey 1 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 And it flies!!! Went to my club fly in yesterday. Not ideal with gusting conditions and busy air space, but went well. Got up twice - one test flight to check handling and then a second with some light aerobatics. Now working on increasing the throws and getting used to it.

Matt Storey 1 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Looked at a couple of pics from the maiden flight, specifically one where i was banked round for a pass, and thought the wing looked a bit too narrow... Now have new wingtips added. Will be sanding flush tonight and recovered. Then had another thought... The wing is quite far back in the fuselage. It almost looks like the placement for a lower wing on a biplane. Further (possibly ridiculous) thought, what if it was a biplane? Just build a new one with the cockpit set back against Former 4 and cabane struts between F2 and F3. A second top wing would have no dihedral and likely a cut out at the back around the cockpit - that would look really good... Now browsing SLEC and debating whether or not it's worth the 'spousal tension'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Todd Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Nice one, it struck me that a biplane version would work well. Lindsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
