Hi all,
       I've been busy these past rainy weeks with my 25 inch span aerographics kit. I covered it with lightspan (more difficult to apply than tissue and dope,but much stronger for similar weight). It's 2 channel 2.4ghz micro radio gear and all up flying weight with ballast came in at 38 grammes. Just need to add a pilot now and wait for the right flying conditions.
John.

And she flies, went straight off the board. I was enjoying myself ( it was a little windy for the wee thing) until the rudder horn broke free in flight, no damage done she landed like a butterfly. I'm not sure about the range of this radio system, I have been told perhaps 300 yards, we will see.
