Alright, catching up!
Did I said it flew? And very nicely at that!
First Flight was done by Michel Leroyer. When you have a specialist of High aspect ratio wings, you just have to let them do it!
Anyway, all he said after a minute was "perfect, do not touch anything!).
The glider flies very very well, it is almost too easy!
The look in the sky is fantastic with those big thin wings. Very quiet model as well on low passes.
Regarding the lack of flaps, that did raised a few eyebrows that I did not put any.
My argument was that if you select a good profile, no need for me to play with switches etc etc on my radio... After a few pilots tried it, they agreed!
Flaps not needed, that thing slow down nicely, and go up in any thermals (compared on the day with other machines with the full stuff)
Airbrakes (500mm) are more than enough to slow it down, but again, the glider is not vicious at all.
All in all, very happy
Ronan with man tool to widen a last minute change on the fuselage :p
Those wings are bendy! I have to say, on the ground, it does not look great (looks sad
) but in the air...
