Avacro - Aerobatic Flying wing

<< < (5/6) > >>

Fred:
:lol: Yeah, I wish, but unfortunately, I don't have enough time during my week ends to go for a day out these days  :!:
That will be at my local slope, 5 minutes drive from my house  :D

Fred:
Wind not good this week end for the local slope  :(
Cleaning up the workshop... And OMG as they say on the Interweb!

Fred:
It's flying!  :D
So now, we can call it a flying wing!

Ok, just 4 launches down the slope, as the slope is in the clouds (less than5 metres visibility!) and pretty much no wind, but the launches were successful.
My CG is a bit too forward (CG at 20%), next trials will be with the battery back a bit (no lead).
Photos of the beast at the slope later  :D

Fred:
Here we go.
First, the "view" of the slope.. Could not see a thing! So a white plank... :roll:
But that was not going to stop me!  :D



The wing at the slope:









So, CG moved back a tad, and now, the waiting game for the next decent week end to try it again  :!:  :!:

But already very pleased with the performance that wing put in today  :D

Hi Fred,
          Great it's working out. Would like to see it fly. I had a fall last week and broke my left wrist so cannot drive for at least 6 weeks. If you or anyone going to the slope can pick me up from Templeogue it would be much appreciated, just need advance notice to charge batteries.
John.
