BB Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ok, it was my fault. After 18 months of 'carefree' flying of my Wot Trainer, and, I & club mates would happly admit, seeing me taking the mick out of the airframe. Causing it a 'little more stress, than it was designed for', hmm ! Today it decided to give up and surrender ! Right wing, wing tube holder decided to pearce the underside during a 'sedate' left bank. Im, thinking that previous exploits had weakend the wing structure internally. I always new I was pushing it: And made a 'strong' point of checking the airframe after every flight ! Fuz is ok. Wing repairable ! It will touch the sky again !! Eventually. Meantime, I popped to my LMS for some retail therapy, as you do !! I saw a now discontinued F3A Cermark Javelin mk 2 .46 - .60 i.c.. I have previously flown the Ripmax Exclaim (Pylon Racer). So am aware of a very short symetrical wing. That it requires, 'Full time' flying. Question for you guys is ... Have you any experience of the Javelin mk2. Any foibles I should take note of. Any help/prayers appreciated. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I recall Andy Ellison tested a model called Javelin in the April 2006 issue (page 50-54 I think it was ).......I seem to recall he slapped an OS90 in his so maybe it was a different model or a larger version......

BB Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks for the info Steve, I'l back order it. As, it isn't one of the 'digital' issues. I think the OS 90 was a 4 stroke ? If, anyones got a copy willing to let go. Let me know. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi BB......as I recall it was a 2 stroke.......he talked about huuuuge vertical climbs etc. I'm sure a 4 stroke would be nice too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
