Received an early Xmas present...

Height: 412mm/16.2in

 

Weight: 1440g/50.8 oz

 

Wing span surface: 23.6dm2

Took less than 40 minutes from this to having the airframe together...just have to add receiver and battery...

 

Notice turbulators and leading edge droop in conjunction with flaps...it really is

 

Beautiful shiny spinner...will set the three blade prop off nicely...

 

And...it comes with a parachutist who drops out of a hatch underneath...also good for lolly drops (is that even legal!!!)

Xmas has come early for Winsor. He might be lost forever now.

 

My avatar has suffered a severe setback. Grandson brings it to me looking rather bent. Grandad says that looks as if it could have happened by someone standing on it." Yes it does" from the young one. (4 Yrs).It's usually "It wasn't me that did it" but I didn't ask him if HE did it, but he was the only one in the room. Anyhow this isn't thread drift because it flew rather well. Nev

That's no fun! It used to take me 40 minutes just to admire the picture on the box, carefully unpack the contents, study the plans, identify each part and imagine the end result of many weekends of painstaking assembly. What is the world coming to?

Instant gratification. And after the months of building... re-kitting it on the first day out flying. lol My first RC aircraft was a Aeroflyte Super Trident (2.5 meter sailplane)... I actually lost it downwind on my 2nd or 3rd flight...never to be seen again. That was 30 years ago now. It must have taken me at least a month of afternoons and evenings to build it.
