If your cable is bending, try soldering it along its length to stiffen it up

Filip 400 Sport Short Aileron
Bustergrunt replied to Clive Matthews's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
I've got one of these and managed to snap the fuselage. Fixed it by sticking a golf club shaft down the fuz, using expanding foam to hold it, then a glass bandage sanded smooooth. works fine and is back in the air...Result! it's a good wee glidder -

Flying Wing glider wanted!
Bustergrunt replied to Tim Costello's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
The Thunder Tiger wing called the V-Bat was nice but fragile, no good for landing in the heather on a slope reallyEdited By Bustergrunt on 04/06/2009 19:14:27 -
MPX Fox RC performance
Bustergrunt replied to Matt Watts's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
in answer to the first post however, i'd say it's not really comparable to anything else, as it's a childs toy which has been altered. the fuz is bendy as are the wings (although i dropped a carbon rod in mine to stiffen it all up). So 1. wing loading...dunno but as light as I can manage 2. twichy...can be if the rates are too high, i like to play with high and low rates depending on the wind speed 3. lifting capability...wots that?...it stays up well enough and keeps going up. 4. manoeuverability...yup lots (just not loops too much) buti can land it where i want and hand catcch it. 5. Speed, nope not really, it doesn't penetrate too well -

Well i was out this a.m. maidening my pitcheron Fox...once i'd trimmed it out i was very happy with it although still reluctant to loop. However I now have 2 of them, 1 x pitcheron and 1 x Ail/elev version...so i'll be getting rid of one to a flying mate, only he doesn't know it yet -
