I thought of using a lollypop stick to push up the spoilers but then used composite ,i also used rare earth magnets to snap the spoiler shut .) hence the name lollypop system ..it worked !

Sorry guys the reason i wasn't posting was i got ABDUCTED yesterday ,Found myself half naked on top of a slope with a transmitter and a glider ....wow this thread is out of this world now HE HE !

There has been a quite a few of them lately ... I was asleep dreaming nice things at 3.30am Rory.

Get well soon matey you have a plane to finish

Non taken Tim what so ever honest ! Its only a post . And if we all get bothered by peoples judgements on our selves we should not be on these forums ..true ! I will try to get the pic off him , hopefully he's still got it but like i mention it shows just a dot ..we were a bit peed off it never amounted to what we saw

It roughly looked like this in the link below https://www.latest-ufos.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/belgium-ufo-sighting-19-august-2015.jpeg looks good enough to eat

Posted by Andy Meade on 17/03/2016 08:45:45: Were you both standing near a burning lipo when you hallucinated saw the flying doughnut? Only kidding. Yes, I've seen a cigar shaped "object" doing similar fast flying, stopping, and zooming off too, when flying at Keevil airfield in the 90's. Apparently your crazy to Andy ......your my friend now not the others lol

I did fail to mention Graham did get a pic of it on his phone (samsung galaxy 4) but it just looked like a black dot when we uploaded it to the computer ,even zoomed in it just looked a blur. The shape of it was only visible through the binoculars .(I think the pic is still on his computer) ....I was waiting for the sarcastic quotes lmao but i take no offence guys , its just what we both witnessed and i think it would of been a waste of time reporting it .

I have just noticed my avatar .Its just a coincidence honest lmao ...omg

This is a chitchat sort of topic. maybe,call me crazy , mad whatever because i aint bothered tbh, But last year my friend and i went to our local flying field in Redcar Teesside on a warm but cloudy windless day to maiden my depron extra 300 3D plane i built from an rc powers plan . The car was parked to the rear of me in the field while i was flying this plane and and my friend Graham was sat on the rear of the car with the tailgate open . So im flying away shouting "well it flies well" then i heard from him " Rory land your plane buddy" , I replied "what for ?", "Just land your plane" he said so i turned my head and he's got his binoculars looking in the sky to the left of my left shoulder , laughing i said "what have you seen a ufo " I'm still giggling at this point . without asking any more questions i put the foamie into a low harrier an dropped it to the ground safely and walked back to him , He said while passing the binoculars to me what do you make of that and pointed ,So i zoomed in to what Graham was pointing at , This is no word of a lie but what i saw was a dark doughnut shaped object with a really bright white light in the middle of it hovering just below cloud base , As i lowered the binoculars and said to Graham "wtf is that ?" , It was not a plane and it deffo was no a heli but it was big considering the distance . Graham replied " Ive been watching it come from over there the far left then it suddenly shot over you within a split second" he said . As i raised the binoculars to look again it shot off over ici wilton works to the right of us and we both said "were is it ?". Graham shouted "There it is above the cooling tower just below that cloud ". I zoomed in again and just got it in focus then it shot off upwards, i cant even put a sense of speed it went but never to be seen again has anybody else seen strange stuff / crafts in the air while flying models.

WOW that's epic !

Depends how much you want one to really , I thought i would mention this while we are on the fox subject , I got offered a 5 mtr all glass fox in the Redbull colour scheme for £400 , it was in the back of his van and it was quality and i never bought it , The fuz was huge.......OMG im kicking myself now thinking about it ! Rory

flyfly do a 3 mtr fox g/f fuz & balsa skinned wings , i was tempted myself, maybe glass the wings Rory

cheers Joe ,Shauni, steve & Cymaz the glider was ok apart from a bent wing joiner which a vice and a pair of grips sorted it out . It really came in fast and could not judge until the last second , the decision to let it fly past or land went quicker than the glider so twang and she was down . Its on the workbench now getting spoilers and flaps added but like steve said im going to try kill that speed due to the dead air on the landing strip with it being flat and a 600ft slope in front ,I think the air starts to roll further back near the trees to the rear . After i posted this vid i went to marske- by- the -sea and flew my fox in a 10 mph north easterly , had 2 great flights and 2 text book landings which made me feel better lol...cheers guys ....Rory

It looks and sounds like there is a load more power there than the standard motor, also i found a weak spot on the fox wing , on landing on a slight cross wind caused the wing tip to brush the grass on landing causing the tip to snap off. The wing has a light square bar running the length of the wing but it stops 4-5 inch before the tip , that leaves the tips just foam, I used flat carbon strip on both sides of both tips , really strong now and prevents wing bend at higher speeds with it being epo .. just a tip for you if you ever find yourself in the same situation which hopefully you wont steve. I do love the fox even though its epo its one of my favourite gliders.....Rory Edited By Rory connell on 16/03/2016 12:12:00
