Mark Kettle 1 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 These guys on this video have had a go a well. 'Weathervane' - notice how it's so neutral on it side area from front to back around the balance and neutral point that it shimmies from side to side.

KiwiKid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Posted by Harry Twist on 05/03/2017 00:43:11: For anyone who fancies this, see what can be achieved - watch the Hermanus day 3 video (picture of a slope soaring correx Tiger Moth on the opening screen!) first 30 secs or so says it all! Thanks for that link Harry, those guys always crack me up. Love that PSS Tigger. By the way, if you are making a few edits to your post and don't want a bunch of four or so edit notes showing on your post, you can get rid of the previous edit notes by deleting them, so you just end up with one showing in the final version of your post.

Matt Jones Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm not entirely sure what I've started here but it's good to try something different, here's mine from the Cameroon Airforce, who knew they even had one?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hmmm. Reading forums late at night and Ebay one click away is not a good combination. Woke up this morning to discover an email saying my payment was successful and my AJ was on it's way! Better get a micro RX ordered fron T9 now.

Andy Meade Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've moulded a clear canopy for mine, but after an aileron faux pas, I'm not sure if the airframe will see the slope as yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Twist Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi Phil, Now you have a fleet - maybe you could join them together with some thin carbon fibre rod - and create a three ship formation! A mini Patrouille de France! OK maybe not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well, two arrived from Wheelspin yesterday, and one from Arrow today. The Arrow one has a bad warp that I might be able to remove with "elapor soup" ™ Of the two Wheelspin models, one is perfect and the other is so badly distorted I dont think it will ever straighten! The box is only just big enough for the wing if its packed diagonally. It looks like the bad ones had been taken out of the box for a gander and then 'repacked' wrongly. Good job its only me, if someone had bought this for a kids birthday he would have been very disappointed! Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one the other day and spent more time repacking it than the time it took to inspect it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
