Well the big day was today but first we needed a tug so we "maidened" the 33% Cub and then we were ready to roll. It sure liked to stay up when we found lift and it didn't take a long roll on the ground to get airborne, Zenoah 80 had no problem getting it up.

My mate is very happy and likes it a lot.

Pink Panther & Kate waiting...

Sweet

Up she went.

Ready to go.

And together they went... few times more.

It sure has a presence in the air.

Coming for a landing.

Two happy chaps.

Looking good.

I must confess, in my ignorance,( :oops: ) that before Selleri started posting on the forum when thinking of Model aviation Iceland would not have even come to my mind.

They say you learn something new every day. I had absolutely no idea model, (and full size looking at the hangers,) aviation was so popular in Iceland.

The world is full of wonderment. I must learn to open my eyes.

We even had some Irish here long time ago.

Well we've been flying Kate a bit more and it's a joy to fly! It can take the lightest of thermals and climb to good altitude. The landing gear is still going strong and the loop "record" is currently at five consecutives loops so I'd guess the new wings are okay.

Hello Selleri, greeting from Cork, the real capital of Ireland.

I am looking at bringing back 2 of these kits from the UK next month and would like to know if you could take some measurements for me. This way I might work out if I need a bigger car.

I would like to know the dimensions of each wing panel, tail fin and fuselage if possible please.

Many thanks in advance

Ralph aka Rogallo

Hi Ralph

The tail fin is removable so that shouldn't be too much of an headache. I'll see if I can get the other numbers for you tomorrow night. Calling Neil at Hyperflight might be your quickest way though.

not sure if we are buying from hypreflight. if you could it would be great.
No worries if you cannot.

Thanks again

Ralph

Hmmm, I thought he was the only one carrying them in the UK? Anywho I couldn't get the measurements tonight and might not get them just yet. I'll post here when I do!

Rough estimate is as follows.
The inner panels are around 170cm, the outer 115cm, fuselage about 260cm without rudder

rogallo · « **Reply #42 on:** June 02, 2013, 09:37:49 AM »

All good. Looks like 2 may arrive in Ireland next week

Thanks for the help. Sorry to cause you any hassle

Good news, I've been a bit busy and when we finally had time for some modeling stuff I forgot all about the measure bit!

I'm doing the pulling.
