Thanks Fred !  ;)

And it's even better now than the rudder cable have been re-do and we optimize a little the CoG and throwing. Really a precise glider, smooth, good inertia at 11kg, and really good in thermal. The view in flight is fantastic and as I like to fly it really smooth you can't say it's a real or mot... Airbrakes have not secondary effect and are really effective. They also do a very nice sound when you do a slope pass with full airbrakes !   :-*

With the new wing joiner I even tried some aerobatics ! Loops are beautiful, vertical reversement are too easy, and rolls take feeeeewwwwww seconds to do but keep axis. I even do some really good looking sideslips ! After that Dédé that was a little nervous stop me... :'(

Really, I'm in love with it ! Thank you Fred ! Great job on this one !

Hi Fred et al,

   anyone give me an idea of how much lead to put in the front to begin with. I want to cover the fuse so any suggestion would be good.

Cheers

Ralph

Fred:
On top of my head, I put 800gr.
I had to add 3 5 cells batteries to that.

But mine is still too light  :'(

Hello,
Mine is 11kg and have something around or more than 1kg in the nose... Nothing abnormal for a 5 meter old glider.
