  1. Well it took 6 months to rebuild (not because i'm slow) but retested the EE Lightning yesterday having removed the complicated Aileron control and reverting to tailerons......a much easier servo installation and simple to set up......the results were it still had great althourity but the full roll was much slower.....mind you that's no bad thing as the aileron version was a little too rapid on the roll.....
  2. So Roy, the answer is both!!!!......after the success of the twin fan version, i modified the single fan version and flew this yesterday and it went great.....
  3. Hi Alan, Happy new year to one and all.... Test flew this one at Headcorn as I needed the launching arm of Andy Boxall.....Have just retested the smaller single fan version with tailerons and a reduced thrust pipe diameter at the outlet and....SUCCESS
  4. So the single fan version wasnt a success in terms of speed and performance but it was such a stable and lovely model to fly......sooooo stable. So I decided to increase the size by 30% and fit a second 50mm edf fan (side by side)....and SUCCESS!!! Decide to make this one with built up wing and use Tailerons for simplicity. So two 3S FMS fans and operating from a single 4S 4000mah 30C lipo... AUW at the moment 2 1/4 lbs. Easy to hand launch too
  5. So the new twin fan TSR2 has been finally tested......
  6. I’m sure Kev will organise another flyin next year👍
