Paul Marsh Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 The finished Rapier #2 This one is sprayed, compared to the first, although the flames on the first one is cool, this is unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Barlow Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Great Planes Kunai. I did order the receiver ready version which has all the servos factory fitted but was sent the ARF version instead. One of the tightest pods I've ever had to work in but about 6 hours later servos and esc fitted and setup. Maidened this afternoon with a slight breeze which didn't bother it at all. Flown on a 1300mah lipo, good vertical climbout for about 10 seconds to DLG height then onto the glide which is nice and flat. Under power it zips around the sky effortlessly and has a fantastic howl to it, the stall initially gets mushy, drops a wing then kind of self recovers! Yet to tweak the setup on the flaperons but the landing speed wasn't excessively high and it skipped in nicely, punting frozen sheep pooh out of the way like a pool cue!

Chris Barlow Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Another maiden this afternoon. Flair Fledgeling bought at the Nationals last year for £15. New servos in the fuselage and a bit of a clean and polish. It's been waiting for the right day since then and today the wind direction was wrong for the flying field so Paul & I took it out to Bosley Cloud. I have flown slope before but on a small scale mostly sand dune size so this was also a first time real slope soaring for me as well! Fortunately there were a couple of guys already flying up there to give some tips to a slope novice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm terrible! Was windy, and bad timing caught me blinking! Please remove, me Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I looked the same, just hiding behind the camera! lol My eyes were that bad they were streaming tears and struggled to see half the time. Definitely getting some goggles for next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Managed to maiden my Ebay bargain SAS Aztec yesterday. Alan Head was kind enough to provide me with c of g and minimum windspeed needed to fly and with 25mph gusting to over 35mph wind was not an issue! Westbury White Horse was the location and she flew like a dream. The big air conditions were ideal and allowed me to really chuck her around. Getting her to land was an issue with the rotor behind the slope. Check out the touch and go in the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J D 8 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi Chris,I had one about twenty years ago,Learned to fly slope with it and also had a Cox 049 in a power pod that fixed under the the wing bands for the flat, yours look's like it has electric motor in the nose?Mine met it's end when I got cocky and flew in too strong a wind and the rock face won. cheers John.

Chris Barlow Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 John, funny you should say that! Peter Garsden who we met up there also thought it was a motor up front! It's actually just the front off a spinner screwed to the bulkhead to form the nose. Simple idea (not mine, bought like that) and makes a very smooth & hard nose.

J D 8 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just a spinner,good idea and easy to replace compared to a squashed balsa nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
