  1. Hi Alan, I have flown mine and it is just great, I have now fitted an altimeter to see how high I can go, will try to send some pics later, when the weather is kind enough to fly. All the best for your maiden. Mike..
  2. Hi Kenney, have you got a folding prop on ?? If not then it looks as if you need an extension so as the propellers go right back against the fuse, then it will not matter where the props stop as they can fold right back, Just a thought. Mike.
  3. Well done Kenney, looks just great, I am sure it will fly well, Mike, .
  4. Alan, follow the plan and you will get it right, do not do what I did, put them on to the wrong end of the wing, had to cut off and make two more, oooh what a silly billy I was. All the best Mike.

  6. Hi Alan, I have found the best way to use the servo's to the control services, are using golden rod controls, these are flexible so you have to put cross pieces along the fuss, but they are complete with the clevises and all fittings, There are two sizes blue which are for more demanding controls, then there are red ones which are thinner I have found these to be quite strong enough for glider flying, I hope this is helpful for you to decide, there is no need for z bends as you can connect at both ends with no problems, also it is far easier to adjust the length, Mike.
  7. Hi Ton, thank you for noticing, my mistake so I will cut them off and change them, will not know if it would have made any difference to the flying, as I will not try it. Once again thank you. The weather here is awful no chance of a maiden for quite some time. Michael.
  8. No no good, still can't do it so going to watch Rugby.
  9. Hi Pete, yes I have new ones to add but I can not seem to be able to, they are in my documents but I can't send them. Mike.
  10. Hi, still trying to send pics.
  11. Hi All, I have tried to send some photo's of my glider but do not seem to be able to. Will keep trying. mike.
  12. Colour to be decided, Probably Red wings, White Fuse, with a touch of blue, Solar Film. All the best to every one as I may not be on for quite awhile. Mike.
  13. Hi KC, thanks for the comment but the gap is bigger than it looks in the photo, if the movement on the controls is all right then I will chop off the last two holes giving more clearance, Mike.
  14. If it has worked the first one is Servos. next ready to cover but a bit more sanding. Third battery box but no Velcro. will try to get some more later when nearly finished. Mike.
  15. Still trying to up load photos but it does not seem to work for me
  16. Wow thanks WolstonFlyer, I will have a look later to see if I can do it, I can send photos by email but this is a bit different , thanks again Mike. .
  17. Hi tried to place some pics of my build, but do not seem to be able to, not that far advanced, Will try again later, but do not know how to put them into album, all the best Mike.
  18. Hi Glyn, no need for a heat gun save some money, just up the heat on your iron and pass it over the covering with out touching it, keep an eye on it & you will see it shrink, why not do a test, build a square of balsa or a plastic box cover it then pass the iron over it to see if it shrinks, if you burn a hole in it, take it off & try again, do this until you get it right saves making a mess of the wings or fuse, hope this will help you. all the best Mike.
