Colin Leighfield Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That rubber powered one is going to be interesting, clearly it will be pretty light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 it weighs 233gms at the mo. so i expect with all the bits and bobs added on it will be around the 450gm mark. fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Jones Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi Tony , Looking Great , Have you painted them or have you printed out then stuck on , As there seems to be a overlap visible on the white . Also any advice as mine needs some paint adding to it but do not want to add too much weight . Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 i hand painted them sir. not great i know as my painting sucks. I have used humbrol acrylics watered down this time but still hand brushed it all. I must try spraying watered down acrylics soon.

Martian Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nearly done Tony ,I personally think your painting looks good.by the way am I right this is free flight and if so why the movable control surfaces is that for subsequent trimming ?

Colin Leighfield Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Good one Stephen! I'd be looking for some long grass for those first test glide chucks, if nothing has changed in recent years, there will be a fair bit of trimming to do before risking the first full power wind-up. Patience is the key, I learned the hard way, like many others I expect. Tony, best of luck mate, take your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 it will be tested at old warden on the 18th, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
