JohnPearson:
Hi Andrew

Should be ready for the moneymore slope fest' I see that hobby store are also selling the fly fly range at a great price, slough are selling the dr808 4m glider for £174, I paid £250 last season :x

I am now nearly as bad as you, when it comes to buying gliders, boyd will be rolling the eyes when we meet again :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Fred:
Looking good John!  :clap:

But still 2metres short of 5!  :mrgreen:

Happy Days:
Yes, I’ve noticed the problem with fuse’s flexing normally resulting in cracks at the base of the tail (particularly with T tail models) or just behind the wing saddle area. :evil:

Let’s hope this one can stand the strain of all your wild aerobatics. :wink:  (Certainly a very good price)
ER,…..and what are the wings made of again??? :?:

Ignore Fred’s comments,……….he has an obsession with size :roll:

JohnPearson:
Hi Keith

Size does matter :wink: in the glider world!, still want a big fox fred :lol:

Now keith, the wings are made up with ply and a very hard balsa, I have checked them, and they seem stiff and strong, the wing support is the biggest rod of carbon I have ever used in a glider. The tips are  solid plastic with a hard white finish.

Tonight I fitted the rudder and close loop system, added the tailplane and fitted the elevator servo, also fitted the under belly wheel with a kind of spring system to act as a shock absorber, so far, no problems.

JohnPearson:
A little more work done on the Fox today, I fitted the canopy and with the space available, I added a pilot. I just used the decals supplied with the model, later I may replace them with another set, however they look fine. Next I need to finish the wings, which hopefully will be this week if the servos arrive on Monday.
