Hi,

Andrès is at the moment in front of me, because he has 8 weeks "parents-vacation" at the moment. Also he wanted to find out, if there are aerodynamic problems with this plane, because he was very much involved in the devolopment of the wing. So he hurried up like hell.

The last weeks I've been busy and will be busy the next few weeks  with finishing and ending the big HXII. Then there is another much smaller projekt on the workbench as a "block" for the XIV. But I am sure, the XIV will fly at a slope next spring.

to many projects and Ideas.....

Regards

Lothar

Happy Days:
NEXT SPRING!!! :shock:  :shock:

 :?: That will be the year 2010. :(

Put it in a large package and ship it over to Ireland. I'll fly it for you off Mount Lienster.
I'll even send you a video of the event if you like! :D

Don't you think that is a generous offer Lothar? 8)

Hey guys,

sorry for not updating the thread for some weeks. I was a bit busy building the new H XII. She's waiting for days without snow, to make her maiden flights:



My Colibri also needed new wings after a bad receiver fault short after the Ireland trip. Another reason to stop the HXIV Projekt:



This one is also waiting for a maiden flight. Due to the weather over here, it's better to stay in the basement and working on the XIV.

So what did I do the last days:
I completed the experimental center section with a motor:



and glued the Multiplex Multilocks to the plane. This was a bit difficult, because of the unusual geometric arrangement of this plane.



At the time I am mounting the servos in the wing and afterwards I am  covering the lower side of the wing with 0,6 mm plywood. This is nearly done. Hope to be ready tomorrow.

Than I will have to wait for some new 2,4 GHz receivers.

I'll keep You informed.

Regards

Lothar
