Multiplex Alpina 4mtr
Happy Days:
Hi Gerry, and thanks for your good wishes.
Yes, I downloaded fred’s manual and very useful it’s proved too. Interestingly it recommends a 50% aileron differential which makes this the first model in my “fleet” with aileron diff. I’d never have put that into the controls had it not been for the manual.
I’ve removed 99% of the ripples from the wing covering and I’m hoping it wont be too gusty to launch her tomorrow. Keep your figures crossed for me! :)
Longer days & new adventures to look forward to,…….good to be alive aint it. :D
Richard, you poor old darling you. As you’re a good friend I’ll tell you the secret of an old English cure for flue.
You’ll need a bottle of Aspirin and a bottle of Brandy. (Actually it’s an Anglo - French cure.)
What you have to do is rub the aspirins on your chest, :shock: and drink the bottle of Brandy. :D I’m not sure how the aspirins are supposed to benefit you, but the brandy will certainly remove all feelings of being unwell! :lol:
B.T.W Richard, which slope are you taking me to when I come North in the spring? 8)
Healthy Keith, looking forward to a good days flying tomorrow :P
Richard Boyd:
I tried the brandy and now have a hangover thats worse than the man flu !
Thanks Keith for the great cure :( lol
i really would like you to fly on the North slope of the slieve Gallion, it has mega lift !
My next fav place is Andrews slopes on Benavenagh.
Between these 2 places we will thrill you lol

Hi Keith,
I'd advise a little caution re tomorrow.
Gales forecast.
Very flyable.
However it might be advisable to hold for some nice steady lift so you can trim, set and trim the crow etc.
That is big and fairly heavy - carries a lot of energy.
The crow may need aileron trim and will need a mix to elevator.
Good luck.
Brian

Hi Brian,
I too see there are gales forecast for tomorrow. 8)
What I might do is take the Alpina with me and if it’s calm enough I’ll try flying her. But if the winds are gale force I’ll just fly my smaller models.
I wouldn’t want to try launching a 4 mtr bird on my own in 100K winds! Kinda like asking for disaster isn’t it :roll:
