Slingsby Skylark 2

Hi All,

Since Bill and John are starting new builds I though I'd start mine as well.
The Plan is to build a Slingsby Skylark 2 to 1/5 Scale. Its from the Traplet plan. It will be smaller than my K8 so should be easier to transport and launch. The pic below shows what a Skylark 2 looks like.
   

Here's some pic's of what I've done so far.

Builders of the world unite!   :clap:  :clap:  

Good work so far Alan. Looking forward to seeing it fly and it may be less of a handful than your K8

Alan_Perse:
Thanks Bill.
Hopefully when I get to fly the K8 more often it will become less of a handful.

yea, the building bug has really bit!  i just received plans of the manuel crested wren. this too is from traplet. model is 3m span and not too complicated. anyone wants to see this model, google 'crested wren' and check out build thread on rc groups. don't know who the builder is but he sure knows how to build a model. hope i can do as well with my model. time will tell.

Happy Days:
Just had a look at that build thread Gerry.
There are a awful lot of radius edges in those plans, and an awful lot of plans. :?  

Good Luck to you and Alan………I recon you scale builders are all a bunch of masochists. :wink:  

Suddenly everyone has started building……..Reminds me of when my misses first became pregnant, every other woman in the street seemed to become pregnant too! :shock:  (Not by me though! :oops: )

Actually that reminds me…….our anniversary next week :(  ………..(No doubt we’ll observe the customary two minutes silence). :roll:
