Fiu - A Lightweight Slope Wing

(1/3) > >>

billscottni:
Decided I needed an agile lightweight slope model as the last couple of slope trips have been in <10mph winds. Found the Fiu at www.jivaro.org aame place as the Madslide

The pic below is 3 hours work. Just releasing the ailerons, covering and RC install and it's done

Alan_Perse:
That looks like a nice little sloper. Whats the wing span? It doesn't look like its more than 2 foot.

Fred:
Hey Bill,

Good choice ! Actually built 3 or 4 of them  :D
Free plan in a French magazine, a good 10 years ago. The Fiu actually was the first model I brought with me the first time I came in Ireland (really compact model!)
Have fun, and keep it light !  :D

billscottni:
It's VERY light, so I'm hoping it will be a nice model for light days

JohnPearson:
Hi Bill

Just what the doctor ordered, cheap, light and quick to build, thanks I got your e-mail, another project for a wet afternoon.
