Fred got competition!

Pushrods and control horns installed.


I needed to add about 120 gr.(4oz) to the nose to get the CG in front of the after limit.
Lightning holes in the winglets and even the elevon might be a good idea.

Tada, here it is, ready for the maiden! Today had some nice slope lift but 40-50 m/s is a tad too much...  ;-)

Thank you Sir  

I would have bet it was bigger! (Keith, no comments!  :lol:  :oops: )

I'll double check for you!   :wink:

Sorry, it isn't bigger!   :wink:

After the first test glides I'm seriously thinking the photoshopped picture in the previous post needs happening!

For some reason our usual camera man thinks that GoPro is suitable for long range filming...  

Needed a bit of up trim as can be seen from the first throw, the second throw was better(no wind) but not a firm enough launch.
After that the wind picked up so a decent glide was had alas no filming.

Now to get it onto a slope!
