Hi all,
just a quick reminder to say you will all be welcome to the CMAC funfly/aerotow again this year.
The Cork club has once again kindly host us for the weekend.
So far we have 3 towplanes and plenty of gliders for the weekend.
Please if you think you might travel post up so I can have a burger and a beer ready and waiting for you.
See you all the May bank holiday weekend.

I have been on to the lads in the PSSA and they have said they will supply me with the files to print the 3D parts for the Texan. I should have a batch done for May if anyone wants some?

A blustery and wet start to our Saturday but as always Richard from Cork flew.
Sunday was to be the main event with several maiden flights and no less than 5 visitors from France (4 pilots) and a contingent from all over the country.
Dave was the first up to maiden his flying wing, great fun and lots of flying with a little repair.
Next up was myself with my Robbe Vampire with a great launch from Erwan Plu was a pleasant surprise for me as it flew with hardly any trimming.
Joe finally flew his mass build Sabre which shows plenty of promise once a few minor alterations are carried out.
Cassoulet, Steak blu and french beer were on the menu for the weekend.
As always good to catch up with everyone and looking forward to the Aerotow in MAy

I have been working away over the last few weeks. The model is covered and I have the servos mounted and connected to the control surfaces. A bit of searching online has lead me to use the following setup to begin with.
: Flap:
down: 12 mm
, up: 10 mm;
Ailerons: flaps mixed in:
down: 12 mm, down
: 5 mm, up: 16 mm, down: 6 mm; Elevator
:
down
: 12 mm, up: 12 mm.
CG, decoration and radio setup is all that is left. Should be out soon.

Looking forward to the catchup
