Thanks for the replies its for a 4.4mtr wing span glider so I'm not sure if a smaller size would be suitable or if a bigger one will fit, I'll need to study the plan.

My Bixler 1.1 has a non-successful maiden.
James Humphreys 1 replied to Bonzo Moon's topic in Foam models
My bixler flew fine straight out the box no nose weight etc for months, Here's the rub though while doing a club funfly she started to porpoise and turn where before she'd glide hands off, when checked over by several people and flown by them aswell weight had to be added to the wing and to the nose. WEIRD -
The crease is in picture 2 with the left aileron uppermost left and the start of the center section bottom left

So after a little battery problem?♂️ can a veneered wing be repaired I'll add some pics, the fuze just needs a new bulkhead/firewall but I'm not sure on the wing. The veneer has crumpled in places and you can see where the wing has crumpled and compressed on impact thoughts please
-
OK so a update Tested the battery on the bench while putting a right aileron turn in with slight up elevator to simulate the turn the battery dips to bellow 3v ( below the recommended min volts) so with the possibility of a stall in the turn also put into the equation and the frantic inputs put in by me would of kept the volts below 3v As for the reason the battery was low I'm afraid pilot error is the cause on that point not doing pre flight checks properly ?♂️
-
I did a range test later when I got home battery started at 4.5v with just waggling the elevator probably ten times as I walked to the end of my road the voltage had dropped to 4.2v I think it was
-
OK I'll add some more info flyin ic engine 5 servo's including throttle. I'm trying to to work out what caused it to crash I went from down wind into wind into a landing approach so I either stalled it or the battery was the cause, I was using a 5 cell ni-mh rx pack 6v After crashing with no control the battery was at 4.5v or bellow. As I'm still abit nervous with ic I opted for a very long approach.
-
OK silly question alert? Does the rx battery affect range in any way ??
-
This is mine layed out awaiting covering
-
OK a easy question ? should the wingtips be sheeted in balsa or open I'm not sure as model was bought second/third hand and uncovered
