Could manage the bottom one. Not good enough with the airbrush to do the splinter effect :cry:  :oops:

I have quite a collection of pics of the frogfoot in various colours. There's quite a nice one from the training school in red, white and blue

That scheme is on a "plastic" model and the colours look very flat to me.
Have the full size pic at home, will post later.

I still fancy the red white and clue training shool scheme. Its bright enough to be visible when flying, but still looks simple enough to paint. But, I'm open to alternatives!

Still a bit of building before I need to start worrying too much about it!

Guys, the frogfoot is a MEAN LADY, so Bill lets give her a MEAN LOOK ! and chase all the hang gliders of the slopes when she takes flight.

A little more progress. Printed out templates for cutting the wing & tail. They're stuck to formica and will get cut out shortly.



This is the reason progress has been a bit slow, but it's now finished and should get a maiden shortly. 1.5m parallel chord 32 degcree sweep back. tip fins and a small centre pod for the RX & batt.

John & I sat at the hill for over an hour waiting on it lifting, all to no avail!

Plenty of wind 20mph + but hissing down with it.

Sorry for the delay in this build, I've been putting together a demo model for the Area to use at shows/exhibitions and it had to be finished for a show at Kings Hall, Belfast yesterday and today. Can now get back to building my own stuff :D  :clap:

This is also the reason for the delay on the Jart  :oops:



It's 1/4 " Lexan with all the gubbins and linkages on full view for showing to groups and explaining how it all operates.
