Certainly it’s ‘Hat’s Off’ to the pilots. Very cleaver flying. As always, skilled pilots make it look soooooooo easy! :clap:  

A subjective question I know, but just how strong are those models. I’d imagine if they hit the ground they’d pretty much be written off, hu? :!:

Do you guys fly in strong wind conditions as well, or is it mostly the light stuff you enjoy?

...without ballast :lol:

Just like any other sloper really. It's still early days... almost anything is possible

A new one... Swiss Peter and I flying a duet at Ellwood. A single uncut take:

What a beast... from the deepest depths of Swiss Peter's imagination.

Absolutely no slow mo whatsoever... all fullspeed video.

No problemo, I'll check next week for the shipping   .

Also thanks Keith  

On another note, I also brought back this...  :mrgreen:



The Beast!  
I also have the mold with me. And no Keith, the fuselage will not fit in your car! (that's 2.4m long)

Sooooo... Who can cut me wings?  

Fred - Who really have to do some gardening!

Hi Fred
Long time no speekee !!
I've been busy/distracted with life issues, new F3A project.etc.

Anyway what is the plan for 'the beast' in the pic ??

Brian

[Fred]

Hey Brian,

Welcome back!

Well, a little mouse told me the other day that 2 fuselages are soon to be born up north!
Wings should be hopefully with us next week or so (fingers crossed on that one!).

So, getting there, nice winter project!  

So, when are we going to see you at the slope again?

[Brian]

Hi Fred,
About a week after you supply me with one of those 'beasts' if that is possible.
Cost agreed of course ??
That thing really gets my juices flowing.
Regardless I will get out to join you all in the near future.
I got very distracted by a new F3A project and getting our new flying site ready (250+hours).
Just about all done now.
Keith is helping with some photos so watch the F3A section.

Got 1/2 an hour to go through my mails to clean up the mess and answer a few hundred of them!
Got this, from a friend in Germany.
The build is brilliant! So simple and yet fantastic, and they managed to get a good looking machine out of Depron!  :clap:

Glider name is Aroso :

Kit :



And the glider :



No more information, if there is a plan available, or if we can buy the kit, but I have asked  

Hmmm, like the build, and I have sheets of Depron doing nothing!

[billscottni]

bet that weighs next to nothing! Should be a real light wind model

[erwan]

So cute this micro glider.

You sold it??

[Fred]

Howdy Air One!  

Not my glider, only received a mail with photos of this glider.
No more information apart it is made of 3mm depron, but I think the build looks great! I like the way he did the fuselage, neat and simple for a very good looking result for a model made of depron

[...] but I think the build looks great! I like the way he did the fuselage, neat and simple for a very good looking result for a model made of depron  

I agree.
