Martyn K Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That looks nice but just like Manuel, I know nothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Seymour Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 She looks sweet, I intend to build one eventually. The anti-vortex wing tips and the cockpit made it stand out from the other slope soarer designs of its time. I have kept the plan and the magazine that featured it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyB Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Nice building, but those constant chord strip ailerons and the flat bottomed section are rather dated on a slope aerobat. Looks like it would go well an updated symmetrical section (SB96 or one of the JH sections), broader ailerons and a "fishy" tail profile...

Speedster Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thank you Brian Flying the ZZip, A little cheat with EDF, but no win for the slope. Absolutely no bad habits and very easy to fly and I could really push it in the turns, Cheers Soren Edited By Speedster on 27/01/2018 14:37:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedster Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Brian, what was the date for the RC modeller magazine with the plan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It was the free plan in Radio Modeller magazine June 1987, designed by Roger Broome. Plenty of power there Soren, is that on 4s and which fan are you using? Edited By Piers Bowlan on 27/01/2018 15:56:57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedster Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thank you 50 mm Dr-mad thrust EDF, 30 Amp ESC, 1300 mha 4 cell battery, Lemon 7ch telemetri Rx, Spektrum DX9 TX **LINK** Cheers Soren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Colbourne Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Looking through the used gliders on ebay a couple of nights ago, I saw this: **LINK** Not having a clue what it was, I didn't pay much notice.
