Fred this is some glider  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
thanks
can't wait to fly it again, the roll rate was brilliant and lost none of the forward speed, and i think i'll be able to take some of the lead out of the nose
terry's making me some decals for it  :clap:

i've had a bit of computer problems and thanks to my brother richard he has us up and running again :clap:

this is the second wing panel, it's amazing how easy the second wing is to build and i've noticed a few mistakes in the first wing  :!:  :!:

everything is set up dry no glue has been added yet  
getting ready for a bit of christmas glueing  :clap:  :clap:

i'm looking for the camera at the minute  :!: so i hope to have some more photo's of the 1st wing section soon

i have all the capping strips all glued on and have the airbrake servo installed and working  :clap:  
i'm ready now to glue on the leading edge and the wing tip and that just leaves me to cut out the aileron and install aileron servo  :clap:

i'm using futaba 3003 servo's for the airbrakes, elevator and rudder and hi-tec wing servo's for the ailerons (not the digital ones)

hoping now to get the second section started before christmas

went for a run in the car and took the model with me i had a few idea's of where the wind might suit
but when i got to 1st Dunboe church the wind is straight east and there's nothing facing that direction even the gliding club don't fly in an easterly wind
