will start with twisting wings to begin with, 8 hours printing per wing half. Should have it printed in a day or two.

Scale / Re: Asw22 and Blaník L23 setup
« Last post by Fred on October 02, 2025, 20:11:48 PM »First flights of the asw22 back in August!
What can I say… it is a dream machine! I could have stayed up all day, like a thermal magnet!
Easy to fly and handle, track very well in toes, and land like a trainer!
Very happy and looking forward to my next outings with it!!

Scale / 1/3 scale Arcus

Well, kind of!
First flights were done at the Creuilly meeting back in August!
6.7m of happiness!
Still some setup to be finished so I am fully happy. Next week I’ll be in Falaise to push it a bit more and test taking off the ground before I try in Ireland. Really looking forward to it!

Scale / Avios Spitfire
« Last post by Fred on October 02, 2025, 20:00:20 PM »had to do it!
So bought one a few weeks ago. Maiden was last weekend and I really like it!
I change the scheme to my own, picking spitfire NKK. Did some light weathering as well with mainly a wash as it really looked too clean! Like the effect, and will add a tad more like exhaust traces etc, but wanted to di the first flight before spending more time on it.
Good surprise, flying scale, on my 6S 4000, I do 3 5mins flights! Not even warm motor or battery after a flight.
I now want to work on a scale flight routine to remind me of my scale days
Anyway, really recommend it if you are looking for a docile great looking spitfire!
