Hi Martyn, The formers are not hand cut. They are from a laser wood pack. I am glad about every message or question.But I am not sure, if people are interested in building a simpel glider in wood. There are only a few requests.Thank you for your interest.
Bernd
I’ve been thinking about a powered glider....

Did you find one Ben? I’m looking for some prop bolts and Toni Clark want £15 shipping 😡

I’m stuffed (English) as my wife is from SA!!!

The batteries look fine Adrian 👍

Try a Vanessa rig. This will indicate the CG. Then you can place the batteries on the airframe, readjust and see how much the CG point has moved
Yeah, I’ve looked at them a few times, and the electronic scales that you can get, but it seems to be a bit of a faff. 😉
-
Looking good, can you attach them to the spar?
-
Good idea Adrian 👍 one advantage of electric motors, you don’t have to worry about prop orientation!
-
SInce you can already fly, a Wot 4 kit would also be a good choice and will take a wide range of power plants..

Excellent congrats 👍

Welcome 👍

Cheers Gary, that’s a bonus.

I’m not a war film fan either, but The Great Escape was an old favourite that I looked forward to every Christmas, and also anything with Donald Sutherland in it - there was one particular one where he drove a tank but I can’t remember the name.....
Was it the Dirty Dozen?
Just looked it up, I believe it was Kellys Hero’s and he played Oddball !!! I was a massive Sutherland fan.

Presumably, the power box leads remain in place?

Good progress Adrian, but you need to slow down a bit, I’ve been on mine for two years and counting

Why not make a battery cage on the fire wall that the battery slides into (with ventilation holes) that is retained by a ply cover (Nylon screw). Just make the cover slide and lock or secure in such a way the battery cannot be removed/fall out by accident.
Batteries can be dropped out for charging, you don't have mess around trying to get your finders into the cowl get the Velcro secure. Nothing wrong with Velcro straps as long as you can get some reliable tension and ensure the battery can't slide.
+1 comments about Velcro stuck to lipos damaging the battery covering.
You can make a simple cage using Velcro, it’s a method I’ve used and I believe I came across on YouTube. You then glue, fix or screw the Velcro to the model.

Fine defence by Eng to snuff out Oz and take their own chances.
Scrums still a bit of a time wasting mystery, though I don't think the pitch helped much.
Yeah, I’m not much of a rugby man but the scrums baffle me.
come on Ireland!

Come on England. Gifted the Aussies at the start of second half.

Excellent congrats

Did you try squirting some fuel in the carb? How old is the plug? I tried for ages to start an old but barely run Zenoah 45 and nearly gave up. I swapped the plug and it started right up - even though the old one had hardly any time on it. Worth a try.. good luck
-
Any progress Martyn? I was going to leave the front of the cowl on my Sukhoi open too, but I have it on good authority that it should be closed off, and an inlet : outlet ratio of 1:4 or 1:5 used....just a thought.

Just watched it. Brilliant, thanks for sharing
Rugby World Cup 2019.

I’m into football rather than rugby generally but one of the things I like about rugby is the respect shown by the players to the refs, other teams etc..
i can’t comment on them taking off the medals, as I turned off after yet another penalty gift which took the game away from England.
SA were great, but England never turned up. Perhaps they thought this would be a formality after beating the AB.
Very disappointing performance.
