Boson... Another aerobatic glider made of wood
« on: December 14, 2011, 13:18:43 PM »
I know, another one... But because why not  \:D/

Another "sport" model to add to my range of models, and that keep me entertained between 2 scale gliders!  :D

So, all started with a sketch at work :



And to finally be draw in CAD :



This is still a bit of work in progress, as only the wings need to be done now (time... I need more free time!  :!:  :!: ).

Might be a good alternative to the Quark or at least a good add-on (more wing surface, full flying tail with 180 degrees rates  :mrgreen: ).

WS is slightly over 2m, same profile as the Quark.

Stay tuned for more!  :D
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

BOSON!

Is that the same as the Higgs Boson? :?:  :lol:

I might have to keep an eye on this model,.....when I've finnished everything else.

(I want to actually see one of these Quarks flying at some point soon.)

Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

Hey Keith,

Yep, that's the one  :D
Quark, Boson.. I'm sure you've guessed the next one!  :lol:

We should organise a Quark meeting, EPP, Build ups etc one day!
