I have started the build on that one.
Plan tonight is to bag the wings to hopefully have them done tomorrow, ready to put on the fuselage.
Fuselage need a bit of sanding at this stage, but it is basically ready to fly.

Stay tuned for more over the week end hopefully  :D





Like the shape, really unusual for an aerobatic machine  :D

I can't say no Bill! That's my problem!

And anyway, you can't fly them all at the same time  :(

Wing cores are glued, working on the wing joiner now  :D

Looks nice Fred.
But what about your ASH 25. When will that be finished. Looking forward to seeing that.

Thanks Alan,

For the ASH, have 1/2 wing left to do, but have to stop for silly technical reasons!  :!:
No more room on the benches!  :oops:
1/2 wing is 3.1 metres, and my garage is full of gliders, and I simply have no room for building anymore, but working on it (well, to make space)! A car full of gliders is heading to the in law's house!

Don't do that Fred, send them to my house! :D

 Er,...:?:  Aren't you tempted to sell any of them yet?

K.
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

Isn't that a bit risky Fred?
You never know what your wife may be tempted to ask her father to do: :?:
