Slope Soaring / windrider 2.6m habicht glider

« on: August 19, 2010, 19:43:07 PM »

hi ed
sorry i missed you when you where up at moneymore
looks like it'll have to be replaced,mind you i don't fancy having to send it back to hong kong

fred think it would be difficult to fix it's a glassfibre fuselage
sorry no photo's
but when i look up the fuselage from the nose and i line up the tail plane with the round metal bar for the wings it's down on one side by 1/2 inch
i'm going to send Ming Lou of windrider an email and see what he says, i've put it on a couple of other forums to see if anyone else has had something similar  but so far nobody has anything bad to say about the model and it's a pity to because it's really lovely

i'll keep you posted on anything that happens

hi ger
we use a hanger 9 pawnee with a lazer 100 about 20cc and tow  2.5 to 3 metre gliders and it works well

this is my cm pro discus on tow and i've had some great flights with it

« on: August 04, 2010, 14:01:04 PM »

hi ger
can't see any reason why the cessna wouldn't make a good tug
what size of glider would you hope to be towing?
the tow release goes at the back of the trailing edge of the wing

check out this site www.scalesoaring.co.uk this is where i learnt all about aerotowng

all the best
