    This is a new one on me, not come across a Seagull glider. Be interested in seeing what it looks like and what sort of date it's from.

    It looks a bit like this Robin, this is Ron’s from earlier in this thread. Still intact but the wood is probably beyond repair.

    Hi Robin, Seen both of these, and looks like you’re right. So now we have 3 versions of the Skyman the “Simple” 3ch built up flat bottom wing, now the “Skyman” 4ch with semi symmetrical foam wing, and an upgraded Super Skyman for 40 sizes engines also foam wing, don’t know if they changed the profile or made another changes. Nice to see both the plans are readable. Wonder if a Stuntman will ever turn up. Regards Roy

    You know when you think something is a good idea, and then you try to make it happen! A little bit more done to the tail, it sort of works 😀

    Made it there Sunday as a spectator (must sort out a B) had a great day, and certainly exceeded our steps for the day.

    Progress was going well until I thought that I’d finished covering, ready to start putting on the decals. Then I put together to take this picture! 😒🙄 Can you spot my deliberate mistake?

    Not forgotten this build it’s just been on hold until other projects over, like the clubs foam glider challenge. Yesterday as the builder is working in my workshop, I thought I’d get on with the covering on the Raider on the dinner table.

    Seen at APOB on eBay another rare kit from Bowman’s. Don’t know much about the history of this kit, like was it designed, made, in house Bowman? It does say on the plan kitted by Bowman. What ever it not one for me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305651815911?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7iuC7mnGR26&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FTZwGEcdTDe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    You’re quite right Martin, I hadn’t noticed. I took the legs off this weekend and bent them back.

    Good day yesterday at the flying field, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing gentle down the strip and plenty of club mates enjoying the company. A good day to take the Magister for a couple of flights armed with my camera. First flight OK but as smooth as I would like, chasing the elevator trim I’m sure when the plastic snake expands and contracts with the change in temperature. The prop came very close to being driven into the ground during takeoff, as the tail came up too much, but after a couple of circuits we had that adjusted. The landing of the day, ended with her parking herself on her nose. Second flight much better now I’d got my eye in again, and as the camera was in the hands of my friend I trust to take good pictures, I was determined to have a smooth flight. Good takeoff, plenty of passes for the camera and a landing on the wheels. That made my day.
