Bruce Austin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi guys I have acquired a T tail sailplane 114 inches wingspan green transparent canopy. Possibly sold by Solent Sailplanes in the 1980s. Possibly a Multiplex model There is a plug in mechanical arrangement at the fuselage for driving trailing edge air brakes. Any thoughts on what this model is called. The T consists of two removable halves and is driven mechanically by a servo at the front of the all glass fibre fuse.

Bill_B Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd love to find an unmade Secret Weapon. Had a couple of 'em back in the day and wish I'd bonded another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Austin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yes Simon, a picture is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately my old brain has not yet mastered these clever modern technologies. I need to study the "how to" which is kindly supplied else where in these forums and see if I can work it out. I have got as far as the photo and it has uploaded onto my laptop so that is some kind of progress. Go With the Flow Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 If you click on "Albums" along the top ribbon of the page, you then click on "Create an album" and download the pictures from your PC. You can then attach them to your posts using the little camera icon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Austin Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Right Simon Thank you for the photo loading tutorial There's the pic of my Multiplex mystery sailplane from the 1980s The wings plug in to two steel rods on a slight dihedral. No flat strip as some other models aparently had. Any ideas on which model please. 114 inches (old money) 2.9meters.

russ d Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Looks very much like the multiplex LS1 to me (late 70s early 80s) russ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Austin Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi Russ Thanks for the sole response. Following your on from suggestion, I have hunted around Google and I do believe you are correct. Well done and thank you for that. Most of what I have seen seems to be in German, but I will try to find some further enlightenment in English.
