Talk about blast from the past... I've had one of these kits haunting
my
basement for years and I thought I've finally apply enough sandpaper,
epoxy,
and servos to it to make it fly.
This is the original with the funky wingtips made of an upper and lower
fiberglass molding that are joined poorly. I intend to use them as
models
and carve a replacement set out of balsa, then glass them.
Besides that, any other cautions or suggestions?
Anyone have a spare set of those wingtips that are reasonably
constructed
that they want to get rid of?
Hey I had one of those! I love that thin, low aspect ratio wing with
those huge flaps. Mine had a black bottom wing surface and white/
intense
yellow on top and on the tail feathers, pretty plane. After a couple
of
brief, late evening preliminary flights, we went out for our local
Sunday
fly and I was gonna do some serious tuning to get it set up. I remember
the first couple of flights were rough, I didn't have the CG anywhere
near right and throws and flap/elevator compensation wasn't weren't even
close. With each flight it got better and better. Finally, on the 6th
flight I popped a good launch, everything was working really well and I
hit some good lift. It flew really well. It wasn't long before I had it
way up there and way out there, but the colors made it quite visible. I
had two friends right next to me when one suggested that I was quite a
ways out there and I had better start thinking about coming home, and I
agreed. With the three of us watching the plane I started a big lazy
turn with the flaps down a tad, enough to slow me down a little bit and
the plane disappeared....just vanished.
I looked for the rest of that day, and most of the next. A farmer found
it a year later. Bummer. I liked that thin, low aspect ratio wing and
those nice big flaps. I don't suppose anyone has one in a box just
sorta
lying about....
Cheers,
Bill
