Based on comments and what I have seen at the field, I'd chose two: The 2-m Big Bird or 3-m Sky Bird from Skybench Aerotech at http://www.skybench.com/ and the Majestic from Laser Arts at http://members.aol.com/laserartco/ . Although the Majestic does has a CF tailboom, the wing, fuse and

I have built both the Majestic and the Sovereign. Both are laser cut kits of exception quality and value. The parts fit was perfect. Yes, perfect. I've never had a kit with such great parts fit. There are a couple of Majestic's flying in our club right now. I haven't quite finished with my

Re: [RCSE] Tip Stall or -

2001-07-05 Thread Tom Koszuta
It does sound like tip stall, Bill. Moving the CG forward will only make the plane less maneuverable. As far as what to do about the wing - Did you like anything about it? That is the first question you need to answer before repairing it. Since you already are repairing it, I guess that you

Now my wife calls and tells me this box from Laser Arts has arrived. What timing. My 2M Gnome may be put aside so I can complete this. So many people have praised this plane. She wants me to put in laminate flooring before I start. Ugh. :-) On a different note, I wonder what all wood means

Bill, Yes! I have 2 of them, One has been flying for the past year and the second is under construction. The first one was build right off the plans except for adding some carbon fiber to the spars. I tend to have a bit of a heavy foot on the winch. The glider winches very well and can thermal

David is right - That was a Majestic he saw in my basement. It is the best wood kit I ever built, the engineering and quality are great. The tail boom is not carbon, it is some kind of glass, fairly heavy and a little flexible. I did beef the spar up a little, but you don't really need to. I

I enjoyed my GEMINI MTS from the same designer as the paragon. With its thick airfoil you had a very strong wing which take abuse and keep flying. Tom RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
