SB13 “evo”

Fred:
New to me model!

Got that one in April, but only had time to look at it now.
This is a modified Graupner SB13! Wanted one for a long time, and finally, the opportunity arrived! Wing has a couple of cosmetic issues ( we can see the fiberglass pattern in some spots), but let’s say I got it at a price I could not refuse!

Now, I call it “evo” because it is not a 100% original. I got it from Germany of course, from someone who knows SB13!

So, this one is a tad bigger, with flaps! Wings are foam with fiberglass and carbone. Everything else is the Graupner way.

Now waiting for the first flight, handy size to bring everywhere

Kevin O'Donoghue:
It's a stunner Fred. Enjoy!

AndyB:
Very nice model Fred. Interesting pilot too!

Fred:
Thanks both :)

I could not remove R2 from the cockpit! Love it too much

Model all setup, ready for the first flight when I come back from holidays :)

Fred:
Had a lovely evening flying at Kilakee with Joe. I brought the SB13 for a test flight.
Plan was to do a quick launch… but we’ll, you know

Heavy setup, as the plan was to do a trim launch, but off the wing went. Flew very very well in what seemed a not a lot of lift, so very pleased with it!
Just a tad of tweaking in the CofG and that one is a keeper! Can’t wait to go again on a proper day :)
