    It's quite a close cell foam and very smooth. I would say it's a bit smoother and finer than the Lidl. I think I paid around £16 each (I bought 2) but that was last year

    I've created an album showing the FX-707 as this site has such a clunky image attachment process which really needs a major revamp. It wouldn';t let me post with just two images as it was too large

    It's a great slope especially when you consider that you have a choice of three slopes. Shame all are facing north. Luckily for me my local slope is at Maes Knoll and suits SW-W winds. You are welcome to join us up there and I've set up a group emailing list so local slope nuts can post when they are planning to go sloping off. One member,Alan, comes up from Yatton area

    Hi Neil and Steve. I have a similar 1.2m chuckie to convert. It's the Flybear FX-707. Unlike the Bolt It does have a removable canopy with two steel balls in it . It has a carbon tube embedded in each wing half and a thin carbon rod as the joiner. Might try a pitcheron conversion but might have to beef up the carbon tubes. Neil. Looks like you are in my area as a group of us fly at Middle Hope,Maes Knoll,Bratton Camp etc. Check out my YT channel videos under "heady2008" Let me know if you ever fancy some company on your adventures in rc slope soaring

    Well here's a suggestion. Remove the u/c,edf and esc to convert it to a PSS model. Find a big slope with suitable wind direction and lob it off
  12. Andy Horsman
    How much dihedral does the problematic model have? It'll need quite a bit to turn well without ailerons

    Lovely Fox Roo. Makes my 3m one look puny. Must get it back in the air after it's little agrument with terra firma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvuTjeppHvw

    Awesome build Roo. Don't forget to post some video of the maiden when you can

    Thanks for the info. The motor specs are similar so at least I now have an idea of what's required. Mine will just be a 3 channel one and I'll try to move the elevator and rudder servos as far forward as possible. It only cost me £20 from Ebay as I don't think the seller realised it wasn't just a no name model. It would have been ideal today as winds were peaking at 45 mph when we were enjoying a slope session with the Phase 6, Ridge Ryder and DF Weasel Pro earlier today

    This talk of PSS warbirds reminds me I should get around to converting a similarly sized Seagull P-51 to PSS duties. How much lead did it need up front Andy?

    I followed Soren's pitcheron route for my slope version. Maiden completed last evening in 25-32 mph winds and she flew like a champ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHuZb1UkHug

    Can't see any cutting disks or flame throwers. Perhaps it's still awaiting it's rocket pods and other ordinance
  19. Andy Horsman
    That design Erfolg is certainly a sign of the times

    Seeing Paul Marsh's BD-5 above reminded me to post my one. I believe it's a Hinode Models BD-5D that according to a Japenese source is a"very old RC brand. They changed to Tetra probably '80 or '90. That BD5 is very old, I have never seen one. It is kit for 049 engine" My version is fitted with a brushed pusher motor,probably geared looking at the size of the prop,It was a loft find and only recently acquired and as such unflown as I type. Would love to know if anyone has any knowledge of the model and suggested modern components and suggested c of g.

    Thanks Chris. Really find it hard to condense a 25-30 min flight down to 3 mins though.
