Guest ozzie Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 normally flick on to this when it starts but the night i don't i miss most of the best episode. goal was to build a wheeled areodynamic controlled glider from junk bits. one was a mono wing the other a bipe. drag them up a hill and off each went. mono flew 2 seconds then pranged and withdrew. Bipe flew two flights 3.4 and 3.5 seconds. really cool took me right back to the seventies when polycloth ruled. should be more of it. Ozzie
Deskpilot Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 A couple of years ago, they had an international fly-off between the Brits and the yanks. The yanks went for a Wright Bros look alike, total failure. The Brits built a bi-plane that took off perfectly, did a big circuit and landed without any damage. Brilliant.
