    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
  5. Dan Workman
    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

    Few coats of halfords spray cans before covering with clear oracover...

    Malcolm, i'm not entirely sure yet as i've already got a list of modifications to make, for ease of build and for rigidity. So not sure yet how much wood and laser cut time there will be for the final version. What i was looking to offer though was a full wood kit, ie more than a short kit so it has all the wood you would need to build it and leave the buyer to provide hardware, electronics etc Ron, maybe a powered version will come shortly after. Depends how easy it is to strap a motor on and make it look pretty at the same time!! Dan

    Cheers guys, yes it will be covered in transparent, be a shame to cover it up! Im waiting on servos for it, so maybe next weekend it will be ready, then i'll need to find a good slope!
  22. Dan Workman
    After having a brief go with a dreamflight Ahi, and liking it, i thought would it be possible to design something with similar flight characteristics out of balsa? This is my first attempt, its all built now just need to cover and chuck it off a slope. Another motivation was maybe to sell a few kits, so hopefully it flies well enough to put it into production. Anyway this is it so far. Its mainly 3/32 laser cut balsa. Bit of 1/4" for the tail. Its light at the moment at 137g, so is probably going to come in under the targeted 350g Can of Stella for size reference! Its 1.2m span
