Glad you found it now and not on the 25th.....

I've had two dud esc from hobbyking and giantshark, so it does happen. In fairness to hobby king their faulty esc blew my ex and they replaced both free of charge.

How to... / Building board

All, what's the recommended building board to use under a set of plans?

I've considered MDF but it's very tough for inserting pins so any guidance is appreciated

Yeah I thought of the slide idea alright it'll suit my landing site as well. The breeze will do nicely for the kinds of impromptu session im looking for. I've got a phenoix 2000 for the heavier winds and longer sessions

Hi Keith,

I went with your advice, kinda,  

There is a Breeze Glider kit on its way to me today from hobbyking, but I went with the big brother, 1.4m WS, rather than the mini 900mm WS..... might be a bit more forgiving for a novice :lol: and with the banded on wings it'll be great for quick assembly.....

Anyway, its PNF so will hopefully be running a few mins after it comes out of the box and will suit the IDA centre across the road from me for impromptu opportunities that present themselves....

Not getting much time at anything at the moment, but I'm going to start that Quark hopefully in the coming month.....

I'll test out your instructions Johnny

that is a nice looking machine my friend. There's only 59 days, 5 hours and 47 minutes to the big day...... so go for it and enjoy......


I'm actually looking at something a little smaller myself right now to fly close to home i.e. something I don't have to break down and can be flying straight out of the car by just switching it on and giving it a chuck....

Joe had a smashing little Messerschmitt ME-109 on the slopes there a while back..... I must drop him a line on that one

Slope Soaring / Building advice required...

« on: October 08, 2014, 23:32:31 PM »

Hi Angry,

My advice.... If you're going to build is.... Go to traplet.co.uk, pick up a plan and start there with a plane you know will fly, for a little extra they have wood packs with precut parts.

I'm not sure of your background but from experience, and both Keith's will back me up here, you can spend a lot of time and money, including ignoring the missus and end up with, not a whole lot to show for it other than a frustrated head...... Smashed up model and lighter in the pocket.....

The traplet option gives you the best of both worlds. Building yourself and flying what you've built..... They've a couple of really good looking 2m gliders on there that will teach you a load about building and flying.....

The main thing .... Whatever you choose.... Enjoy it

 

Stephen
