Ron Gray Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Now look what you’ve made me do, this thread has jumped to another page so we get that blessed mid thread ad again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Yes, it's unfortunate considering all the very helpful advice, especially the coordinated turns, that it's ruined for me by stupidity about a bit of string that is in no way relevant to the model I was going to buy.

Ron Gray Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Depends how scale you want it to be as the full size would have a bit attached to its canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Fortunately, I have not placed an order and the lack of knowledge that this topic has highlighted has dampened my enthusiasm to the point where I have decided to forget it. 🤐 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Keep playing with your MPX Heron and learn more about the skills required to fly thermal gliders, believe me it is not straightforward! Then with a better skill set go for that expensive mouldy. I downloaded the following, Thermal Soaring Masterclass and found it to be really useful and informative plus also showed me how much I didn't know!

EarlyBird Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 The MPX Heron is the current victim, I need to have its replacement in the Hangar ready and waiting as it may be need at short notice. My thoughts were to use a MPX Ventus as a cheap follow on to build more confidence, then the Composite Glider. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 That does sound like a much better plan, build up to the composite one then you’ll enjoy it far more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
