Lads, I bought a 2nd hand Macchiato from the RC-Network in Germany, lightly used and before it had landed in Ireland Richard had bought it from me. We set it up this morning and said we would take it to the field for a test flight. All went well after a bit of adjusting on the elevator and the crow brakes. Here are a few pics.

Another good day at the RWMAC with a bit of flying with the Tommy jr and the good old Lentus. Plus, witnessing manual work at the club. The usual, one working, everybody else watching, commenting etc With all the rain, today’s job was to drain the water from part of the model pit. And more rain forecast tomorrow! Will that weather give us a break at some point!

Hi Fred, yes it’s the V4 and really enjoyed building the kit.
Many thanks for the CG info, very grateful. Keeping fingers crossed for some good flying weather in May, looking forward to throwing it off the slopes! The South Downs near Eastbourne (England) is our usual spot with a good variety for most wind directions.

1590 grams, can’t wait to fly it! Great kit Fred and everything fitted together very nicely. Detachable tail to help with the transportation. Might make a second nose at some point with motor as an electric conversion. C of G is currently 79mm from LE at root, does that feel about right? Any advice on CG position from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
