Fred:
Ok, once in a while, I suffer from nostalgia... :oops:
In the past few years, I hunted down, and bought "my first" thing...
Few years back, managed to find my first wood kit, A Graupner Piper cub (FF), then, my first CL plane, a Pulsar from a plan in "the encyclopedia of Flying Models" of 1979...
And now, after a few years of looking in the internet, managed to put my hand on my first glider that allowed me to discover my first ever thermal!
That was back in 92 or 93, was doing some bungee launches at the flying field on a hot day, pretty unsuccessfully, when I received the best advice ever... You fly too close to you, move away, far, scan the airspace!
And did my first thermal flight, lastest 45 minutes, all that from a low start  :D

Anyway, enough with my life  :lol:  After all these years, quiet by accident, found a brand new TT Explorer, still in the box, absolutely untouched in Germany. Order made straight away of course, received within a week, and finished yesterday after an hour of work  :D
That brought me back!







And the finished product :



First launch this week end if the weather cooperate!
Fred - Happy :)

erwan:
Not so difficult for assemble it??

Fred:
Nope, did it with the girls :)

Wings panels to glue together (epoxy 90secs)
Glue the elevator / rudder (epoxy 90secs)
Servo tray (cyano)... And done for the build!

 :D

erwan:

That'll be a nice light wind slope or bungee model Fred.
