I agree too! I´ve used them occasionally and never had a single problem with orders or customer service. Probably helps that I live in Mainland europe though.

Bought some months ago, but life, a few minor health problems and work delayed getting it fully ready to fly. Now waiting on the weather for the maiden.

I have given my Lentus a little makeover using some bespoke decals I had made. Plus the addition of a pitot tube I made using 3mm aluminium tube. The intent being to make it a little more scale like.

Very interesting responses here. This event took place at my club some 5 months ago in collaboration with a club from Barcelona; it was the second such event and is going to be repeated again later this year. Pilots come from all over Spain, many from France and some even further afield in Europe. The club directors have a very selective approach to safety which many of us ordinary members find frustrating and downright irresponsible. Several of the "Junta" frequently fly behind the flight line, don´t follow basic safety routines and often take off and fly without warning, sometimes flying over other club members in the process. On the flip side, If any of us "ordinary" members commit a minor club infringement we are heavily berated and warned. Also, many of the select few bring their dogs and let them roam all over the place, including onto the flight area. When we complain they will secure the dogs for a while only to let them loose again the following weekend. Additionally, they fail to clean up the mess that their dogs make. Many of us would leave and join another club but there is nowhere else to fly locally. It´s such a shame because the club facilities are very good.

Apologies, I posted the Kobuz video here by mistake.

I don´t have a clue Paul. Sorry. It´s not my model and I don´t know the pilot personally.

Jet powered Kobuz glider

Slightly different but we had the first ever female officially joining the club recently. A young girl of about twenty years old. She started off flying drones for a year and progressed to a small trainer with a buddy box last year. She took to flying very easily and quickly.

I've had many problems too. Time of day and weekends no different.

Thank you all very much for your comments. The article posted by Mac Z is very interesting and the comment from PDB I get but I wouldn't just transfer that rig onto a land yacht as is. Essentially I will use them as resources to be exploited as opposed to starting completely from scratch. As you have said sheperio, I can use the electronics and modify the sails, booms to suit if necessary. I see it as an experimental, fun project using the resources I have at my disposal. If I manage to get something that works and scoots along my clubs 200m main runway in both directions I will be happy. I will keep you posted shepeiro but progress will be slow, so please be patient.

Just picked up this for just a few quid. It's not sailworthy without a lot of work and the closest place to sail it is not convenient for me. However, My aim is to use the parts to make an RC Land Yacht which is something I've always wanted to try. Anyone aware of any plans for such a machine to give me a head start? Cheers.

Good to know spares are still available

Many thanks for that info Simon. Makes things much simpler for me.

Paul, do you have the rigging wires on the Tiggie? Have you flown it without? I have one I started years ago but didn't finish and I have no idea where the rigging wire is. I hope to finish it this spring/summer.

I also had problems with Zippy yellow lipo's from 3s 2200's to 4s of varying capacities.

Me too!
