    Sadly my local hill doesn't produce lift like you're used to but soon I hope to launch her off better hills and get some weight onboard (only a little, don't want to ruin her). All in all, more than pleased

    FINALLY got the Hammer maidened, 15mph, no ballast. Flew straight as an arrow, two clicks down and that was that. Beautiful bit of kit, try it with a bit of ballast next time!

    Looks a cracking spot mate. We're are in winter now 2 degrees today and next to no wind. Still haven't flown her, let you know when I do tho.

    Cheers Phil, I'll keep you posted. Might be a while, nothing but rain and inconsistent winds here at the moment. Dave

    DONE!! Sadly the nose came out dark because I only had grey primer (needed white), but that can be resprayed easily enough later.

    moving on, decided to use multiplex mpx connectors to keep wiring simple and tidy. A handy hint (probably from this site somewhere), to pot the connectors with hot melt. Not only does it prevent flex and eventual failure at the solder point, it provides a good grip . I didn't use a mould (haven't got one!), just pump the glue in there then, while it's soft, form it with a couple of bits of aluminium flat bar. Not as tidy as a mould but hey.... cheaper lol.

    Phil, cut down on the caffeine at night-time bud! I thought I had weird dreams lol. Just got the second wing to wire up, then it's wait for the right conditions time.

    fuse and tail feathers all done, with 20mm ballast tube (should be good for about 670g ish max.)

    Phil, I did toy with the idea of aluminium bolts by way of compromise. I have the same problem with the white plastic ones supplied. Just working on ways to get the rudder arm tucked away inside the fuse. I'll keep you posted

    Guys, are we using nylon wing bolts or ......?

    Guys, I am going to do it, because it wont add any weight and can't hurt. I don't expect to use the full ballast load( i have slopers that love that kind of thing). I have done it before by routing a 1.25mm slot in the wing,piping in epoxy and letting the blade in. Smooths off to a nice finish. Keep you posted !
