Gifted Glider, but what is it please?
EarlyBird replied to 911hillclimber's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
Yes that is the same as mine. Also putting the two halves together, for the first time ever, I can confirm it's a polyhedral wing. I wanted the motor to go in the Bird of Time, now I am thinking I should fit a smaller motor and fly it. -

Two piece 2.18 m span the mid section is flat, 1.16 m, with upturned tip sections. No control surfaces on the flat bottomed wing. -

It looks like one I have. Mine was converted to use 3S lipo and weighted for the slope. Steve -
But maybe not judging by these recent flying shots. Looks fine at fifty feet even though it's a bit worse for wear. A big thankyou to Mike Mennell for the excellent pictures. Steve

I started with the DW J3 Cub 1200 wingspan. The idea being, as it's a flat wing, to build on the kitchen table during the cold winter months. I leaned at lot as I found it a very steep learning curve that was not as easy as I first thought. The one lesson I did learn was that every build is practise for the next. Having now got in to double figures I am beginning to know what to expect, but only just.🤣 Steve

Impressive, I like your use of magnets especially the thumb screw clamp. Is that Duplo? looks a bit big for Leggo. Looks like you will beat me to the maiden which wouldn't be the first time if IIRC. 🤣 Steve

I hope you don't mind me copying the colour scheme. How easy would it be to change the undercarriage? Steve

How are you progressing @Graham R? I have been working on the fuselage by adding stringers and other bits. this is what it will look like as inspired by Peggy Sue This is the side for the two switches, something else to think about. 🤣 Next I will add all the bits to the other side while I make a decision about the switches which I also need to buy.

Have you shortened the tank vent to make it more conventional? also don't forget what the engine manual says especially point 8.3 The manual is your best friend. Steve -
