Being increasingly drawn to these range of gliders.

Wondering of level of work is still to be done?

I've seen old videos and build logs of people having to cut out cockpit apertures, cut foam away from the root for joiners, and sanding root and tip panels for dihedral etc. I think control surfaces are already hinged.

None of this bothers me - just curious!

I have the 2.5m Orion EV. Lovely kit and flies very well, I fitted a Hacker geared motor driving a 16" prop powered by a 3s 2200, it will climb vertically with ease and is capable of covering the sky quickly.

Thanks Andrew.

Re the blocks in the wings for the fuselage fixing. Does that mean you then have to drill them? Don't fancy that without a pillar drill...

Re your wing finish. How durable and water resistant was applying lacquer direct to the veneer? I was toying with light weight glass cloth or film.

Thanks for the info.
