Andy Freeman Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 http://www.modelspot.com/mpx/blizzard Looks interesting and an easy to complete/robust model that isnt a Zaggi.Your opinions would be gratefully recieved.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Green Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Made from the same stuff as the rest of that range, the reviews that I have read for the Cularis & Gemini were good, so a safe bet for flying, but I don't think it will put up with the rigors of the slope for long.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is that the M'px Blizzard? - more of a hotliner, quite small too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Freeman Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hotliner....... There is an expression I am not familiar with. What exactly does it mean?BTW.. The slope thing came from their blurb, but i suppose i should not be so green as to believe that at my age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Oh ok Andy fair enough. Er. well how would I describe a hotliner? Someone will come up with a technical explanation if it exists of course but they tend to look like gliders except they will have a powerful motor in the nose and can be as fast, if not faster than i.c. models. They're slippery and designed for speed rather than out and out thermal soaring capabilities. My old Sprinter here held by clubmate Eric, is just about a hotliner.

Jonathan Lewzey Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I din't realise the blizzard was also available as a glider. I'm sure it would make an excellent slope soarer, both in light winds and crammed full of lead for windier days. As long as the wing servos don't have the same connecters as the ones on the cularis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peewhit Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Elapor on the slope? Be sure to take a large plastic bag.Would not want you to be prosecuted for littering with all those bits of white foam scattered around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Freeman Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Decided against this one. Now have something else on the go..(see thread above).Thanks for the input though. Looks like a little bit of the "hard earned" has been saved for other things.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fleming Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've been flying an Elapor Easy Glider Electric on bracken covered slopes for a while now, particularly when the wind drops. The bracken doesn't do much for the wing leading edge!. In the winter the bracken can be spikey. The wing doesn't like this either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
