Can anyone help me to identify this sailplain please.
99" span 2 channel. I thought it might be a windfree from Mark Smith but it has a standard tailplane and not an all moving one. Picture coming soon. CheersEdited By Les Littleton on 10/11/2015 10:27:13

Hi, maidened mine this afternoon. pnp version with turnigy 1300mah battery back as far as poss without digging out any foam. C of G was about 380 mm from the nose and it flew away from a hand launch with authority and picked up speed quickly , 1 click of left aileron was all that was needed to trim out and then she was flying very well indeed .
This little jet has no vices at all and is great fun for very little money.

Really nice job Steve , I bought mine about 5 years ago (second hand ) and have flown it on various engines the present one being an irvine 46. Your thread has made me think that i ought to refurbish mine but i doubt it would end up looking as good as your machine !
Don,t forget to show us some flying pics .
This is my mine when it had 4 stroke power but no cowl

My last experience with hobyking was unfortunatly very different, order placed (small parcel) then endless weeks of waiting. After many exchanges with customer support i was informed that the parcel was back in hong kong because it had not been collected . I was amazed at this because the parcel was small enough to be posted through the letterbox and in any case there had been no note left by the post office to say they had attempted to deliver. ( We know our postie and he is very good and would have left the parcel with a neighbour and put a note through our door). After more exchanges hobbyking finaly credited my account with the purchase price of the item but even after further promises of a refund of postage it never happened .
I recently attempted to order some small items using my credit , total wieght of items was less that 80 grams and they wanted over £22 postage from hong kong . i cancelled the order and will wait untill items are in stock in the uk.
Not very happy with Hobbyking.

How about extentions at one or both ends and on the sides . Maybe fixed with simple hinges and locked with a sliding bar or a swinging gateleg arrangement , again fixed with simple hinges.

Can anyone help me to Id this model ? . I thought it might be a Speedo pro . The latest version of Speedo pro I can find is the mark iix but that doesn't have a rudder. I've had this for a few years but it's always been a hanger queen. Now ready to maiden I love to know what I might be crashing. It has a 1.43m wingspan with flaps and ailerons. The fuz is glass fibre and all flying surfaces are built up .
