Thanks for replying, probably will make one but I can't believe how much a length of rubber costs, the main reason for trying a glider is to save money on battery price and being able to fly when they are dead. Thanks again. Robert

Hiya everyone, I'm having major issues with trying to find a hi start system so I can finally get my glider airborne. If anyone has one for sale or knows where I can get one that would be great. Thanks again. Robert

Hi everyone, this is my second build but from a proper kit not a short kit this time, Just got to put the servo,s in and cover it. I want to make it multi colour so I was wondering if there was any type of solar film etc what can be painted so to save on cost? Thanks guys.

I don't think my building skills are up to trying that sort of thing I was thinking maybe a folding prop at the front, if not then I will just use it as a glider and then it might help me with my flying skill as it won't get out of control so quickly like my first build which is still in airplane hospital!!

Just purchased a new model it's a glider but I was wondering if it would be possible to put a small motor on the model? Will post pictures in a minute

Response to kc, two tree island is the closest to me but none seem to have a website and I cannot get through to anyone, I really want lessons so I don't destroy another plane. When I fix it I think I will just go there and hope I can get some good advice and maybe a lesson because I don't want to be climbing tree's again. I was lucky to get away with little damage and if the model shop wasn't closed it would be fixed today, if anyone lives in Southend and wants to teach me I would really appreciate it as this is a hobby i really want to get involved in, i m hooked and am not going to give up easily. I'm already getting ready to build the next one but I really want to see my first build fly.Thanks for all your support i really appreciate it and enjoyed the hammer jokes!!

Just a response to TWS, when I launched it i was more worried about it just crashing instantly but it seemed to climb to quickly so I put a bit of down elevator and and that's when it veered right, the tree's where behind me, the plane is quite light and maybe the breeze caught it but it didn't respond and in less than two seconds it was all over. But in the process of repairing at this moment and should be done quite soon repaired the rib and leading edge just need to put the sheeting and cover it and try again in a field with no trees

When I built it it was all square but maybe because it was my first time covering it always seems to twist and I thought I sorted it, maybe not, I will try to fix it because I see want to build a plane that fly, try again i think

First flight went horribly wrong? Seemed to climb ok then went right and it was all over in a few seconds and she was stuck in the top of a very tall holly tree. so i got a good upper body work out and after a few hours we got it down, any idea why it would want to dive to the right, for the start it was good and I thought it was going to be ok and then like I said it just dived to the right and it was all over Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 13/05/2018 20:11:37

Silly question time, just got the prop and the hole is to small, do I still out the hole because I just have to put the motor on and I can fly her, again be gentle and remember it's my first go at this

Should i use little bolts to attach the motor, it didn't come with screws for final fitting, maybe silly question but I don't want it ripping itself off the plane, any tips would be great!
