For Sale / 3m Condor Magic Evo 4 for sale
« on: August 16, 2010, 16:11:51 PM »
Folks,
Sorry to be posting this but I just don't get the time to fly my Fly Fly Condor, so I'm selling up.
Actually I have two Condors for sale, I went a bit mad.
These are beautiful 3m sailplanes with Elevator, Aileron and Flaps.
The first is made up for slope sparing with all servos, this has been flown a few times and is in good condition, metal servos in the wings (x4)
Looking for €125 ono.
The second is converted to electric but has never been flown.
The are no servos in the wings, just in the tail. Wings are still in the box.
Comes with motor, prop and spinner.
Looking for €145 ono.
Both models can be seen in Dublin area, I'm based in Dunboyne County Meath.
Cheers,
Ray

Slope Soaring / Maiden flight
« on: May 31, 2010, 22:38:27 PM »
Well, it only took me 2 months but I eventually got this bird in the air with treriffic help from Eiretime, thanks Ed.
It flys like a dream, way better than I expected actually. I did manage to crash it first time out but nothing too bad so it took off again without rudder control.
Cant wait for the next outing...

Did somebody ask where to get the 3M Condor for €99 ...
It's on sale here
http://www.derschweighofer.at/artikel/68745/bk_condor_magic_evo4_3000mm
You will need to understand a little german or use a web translator.
They have a flat shipping fee of €6 under 30kg for all european destinations.
Get one while they still have them on sale!
They ship GLS and mine took just 4 days from shipment, be sure to ask for a tracking number.
I just ordered a 2nd one for spares!

Thanks for the tips (and poetry) folks,
The 3m Fly Fly (Condor Evo4) I was looking at has got Flaps so it might be easier to land, but it sounds like the Fly Fly's could do with some reinforcement patches before flying, I'll have to give it some more thought.
In the meantime I will also modify the Blizzard and see how it flys on the slopes without power, the manual says it will go from 1050g to 800g by removing the power train.
Cheers Ray

Hi Bill,
Your right, the fuze was fiberglass and the wings were built up, but the skin on the wings seemed to be a hard plastic or fiberglass perhaps. And I think the Fly Fly is the same.... still not bad value at £170.

Thanks guys, the Cularis is the obvious foamie and I have looked into it for quite some time now but without feeling the love.
On the other hand I really liked the performance on Ed's red bird and the DG1000 'lookalike' last weekend, both are molded and have a really nice finish. It's probably because Blizzard is a foamie and I guess I'm looking for something with a sleek finish.
So now I must be mad in the head, I'm looking at the 3m Fly Fly with full house wing :!: must resist... must resist... it's a lot of glider for just £170!
Come to think of it I might strip the Blizzard down for silent flight and see how it goes. Last weekend it tended to stall on tight cornering, dropped a wing and flip into the ground, this happened twice and both times I was running unpowered, it does not seem to like slow speed. So it might have a better chance without the weight of motor/battery and speed controller.
Cheers,
Ray

Hi Folks,
After "trying" to fly my MPX Blizzard like a slope soarer last weekend at the Mt Leinster meet-up I'm looking around for a good recommendation.
Looking for a full house plane with good performance in the 2.6m range.
I don't mind some construction work.
Needs to be reasonably tough and repairable for rough landings and an idiot pilot!
Needs to dismantle into three manageable parts for transport.
Here is my pick list (so far)
Great Planes Spirit 100":
http://www.modelmaniacsonline.co.uk/products.php?ProductID=3907&CatID=423&SubCatID=429&Title=Great+Planes+Spirit+100&ManCode=GPMA1049

http://www.modelmaniacsonline.co.uk/products.php?CatID=423&SubCatID=481&ProductID=5112&Title=Multiplex+Cularis&ManCode=214218
Fly Fly Condor Magic Evo4 3m ARTF (might be over stretching it here)
http://www.modelmaniacsonline.co.uk/products.php?ProductID=7182&CatID=423&SubCatID=428&Title=Fly+Fly+Condor+Magic+Evo4+3m+ARTF&ManCode=A-FFB010
