X-RES

[Alan_Perse]

Hi All.
Started a new project. A 2m res thermal glider called the X-RES. I got it from hyperflight.co.uk. So far I have finished the centre wing section.

Looking good Alan, love the barn door spoilers.

Hurry up and finish it

Thanks Ralph. Yes the barn door spoilers are nice and simple. Hope to have it finished before the summer is out.

Very good Alan. Just been looking at the spec,.......less than 4oz/sq.ft wing loading......pretty impressive! and a three piece wing for easy transport.

Good choice

Incidentally, what's the toilet roll for on the bench? In case you suddenly need to use the loo having discovered you've glued the wings together the wrong way round?

I would never do that. I'm to good

Finished the outer wing panels. Next up the fuselage.

Looks great, keep up the good work.

That's a nice tidy bit of building Alan

[Alan_Perse]

Thanks Andrew. Having CNC cut parts sure helps  .

Finally finished building the X-RES. All that’s left to do is balance it and adjust the control throws and it should be ready to fly. Just need some nice weather.

Nice Alan!

[Alan_Perse]

Thanks Bill. Wish I had it last weekend.

Yeah, last Sunday would have been a good time to have tried it. You could always come down to Big L tomorrow, Allan. (40 mph. westerly winds forecast Ha!!)

Deutsches Segelflugmuseum.........good bedtime reading by the way

Well, it flys. Flew it twice today at Lacken, in very light conditions. It flys in almost nothing. It’s very easy to control. Very pleased  . Looking forward to the thermal weather next year.

Well done Alan. Fab looking spot to fly. Lovely glider.
