Hi Alan

The model is looking great, you are a good builder. Yes, no flying this weekend again, I think I need a flying fix soon!

Hi All.
Another update. I have built some prototype airbrakes and I made the airbrake appatures in the wings. I will probably redesign the airbreaks a bit after seeing the plans for Freds airbrakes on RC Groups.

The outer sections of the wings are now under construction.

I have finally built enough of the glider so that I can assemble it to see what it looks like. Still a LOT of work left to do. What do you think?

Thanks Lads. The main goal is to have it ready for Retroplane in July. If I can get it finished before that it would be great.

Alright, I'm back!

Nice work Alan!

By the way, what is wrong with your airbrakes ? they look OK to me like this no ? :?:

Lovely work Alan, as Fred said the brakes look fine, plough on with it, looking forward to seeing it at retroplane,

Thanks Lads.
The airbrakes do work fine. The only problem is because this is a 1/5 scale model the space available in the wing is not very big. So I need to tweak them a bit here and there to make them fit better.

Looking forward to seeing this glider fly, looks fantastic Alan!

Thanks John. I'm looking forward to seeing it fly as well. I hope to make some significant building progress in April.

Hi All.
I finally got some more work done on the Skylark 2. I was hoping to have it finished by now. But it is far from finished. Got a bit lazy.
The photos below show the work I did on the wing center section. I have installed the airbrake's and the airbrake servos. I have also done most of the sheeting.
