Interesting New Blanik 4.2 from horizon Hobbies

[Richard Boyd]

Amazing flying! :clap:

I’m afraid those models are way out of my range. Even if I owned one I’d never be able to fly it to it’s max ability. It’d just be a “Look what I’ve Got” show piece.
(But it’s nice to dream )

However, in the hands of an expert………….. when did you say  you’re getting yours Richard?!

Hi Keith, your right it is a dream plane  
I love to dream lol and no smutty replies  please lol

Can't understand why it's gonna take an 80cc tug Richard  :?: I towed a 32lb glider on a 62cc zenoah and the tug weighed 20lb
I reckon I could tow it with the cub no bother

[Richard Boyd]

In the video they used a 100cc DA and as you see it had bags of power and they did say a 60cc would do it on a long runway, We only have a few of those up North. I am no expert with air towing but I think its all about get up into air quickly,

Maybe our ace designer guru could do a short kit for us.
A team build glider Ireland Blanik  :?:  :?:  :?:  :?:  :?:  :?:

Here is one I saw fly last year.

Hi Richard, already requested a Blanik from Fred and is on the "List"

Lovely plane

No pressure Fred, would look great at the Menez though!

[andrew wallace]

hey young boyd
is that a photo of the full size glider and tug
cause they're towing frow the tail wheel and in a model you're towing over the CG  :shock:
aye if you have a tug available with a 100cc of power you'll leap into the sky in no time but that size of model i think i could still tow it with the hanger 9 cub and the 30cc engine

Tractor power by Zenoah 62 cm3 with muffler resonator can tract big glider, The Pope have a light tractor with this motor , and i can tract glider with 12 kg.
