FWAL Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Chris The Blejzyk Hammer from Flying dog could be what you're looking for! I fly a non elec T tail Hammer and for me it's perfect. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The hammer is only available with a conventional inverted T tail, or V tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hi Chris, What about a bird of time, converted to electric. It's a beautiful thing, with an open structure wing, of about 3m span Final icing on the cake is that there are quite a few build blogs ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Satinet Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Posted by Christopher Mayers on 06/12/2012 21:46:46: Looks ok but I can't read German!!!! google translate gives the blurb as: For those who find our last annual performance model Climaxx too large and the equipment with 6 servos and a powerful hacker drive and a 3-cell LiPo battery was too expensive, we have "shrunk" our Climaxx. The result is a handy and extremely manoeuvrable 2m model, which - because of the retention of the S7012-profile and proven carbon fiber tube spar design - has similar strength characteristics and a similar flight dynamics like the real thing. In contrast to the surface of our great Climaxx Climaxx is designed compact in two parts. The low total flying weight of just 750g the climb performance is despite the relatively small and lightweight batteries more than enough to reach in a few seconds on "Thermal search height." All in all, a worthy successor to our "Return 2000". Climaxx compact models, like all of our CNC kit series course "Made in Germany" and is made from our house and purveyor Green CNC. In addition to all CNC machined parts from balsa and plywood in from our usual, outstanding fit quality for the construction of high-quality compact Climaxx are linkages, screws and other hardware components (eg CNC milled fiberglass horns) at. Support the construction of our Climaxx compact is a multi-colored (!) Plan and issued a number of 3D drawings German instructions. Not included in the kit are ironing film, adhesives, tow hook and spare parts for the creation of the wiring harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Satinet Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm assuming you want an electric for thermal soaring. Obviously if you want something fast, then there would plenty of options, but probably not built up wings (foam or moulded wings). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
