Another question for you Fred.

Are you seeing this plane with a high wing or shoulder wing? (Mid wing) :?:

Well Fred, I've cleared my work bench, fitted a new No.11 blade in my knife holder, sharpened my pencil, and I'm ready to start building :D

Only problem,...........I haven't got the kit yet :!:

When can I expect to get my hands on this little beauty :D There's nothing else like it in the market place, you'll sell gallons of them! (Just think of all the money you'll make 8) And all you've got to do....... is produce it.)

Oh boy !

Well, it's going to take time! All my projects are now stopped as Retroplane is approaching fast, and with the kids, I can't really do much for the time being.
So, working slowly on it (but I managed to have a new design out last week  :D  :D  Full story soon! )

So, all will be resumed after Retroplane.
Patience young Padawan!  :P

Ok, update, just for Keith !  :P
Work in progress, almost done. Changed the fuselage design to use plywood, and all the parts should fit together like a jigsaw puzzle... Well, that's the plan anyway !
Wings ribs are all done, just need to work on the ailerons / flaps now. Anyway, should be done by the end of the month, for a good winter project !
Working on 2 versions at the same time.. 2.5m and 3.2m  :D
Plywood will be the main material.

Okay Fred, your last update on this “Super Dooper  Soarer” ( Translation = Fansastic Slope Glider ) was nearly a month ago. :(  
(Actually, that could be it’s name…..The SDS…or… FSG…….Cool! 8) )

I’m eager to get started, so what’s the “Low Down?” (Translation = latest information?)
I’ll have a 2.5mtr version please, with the two part wing.

Will you be supplying all the parts, will it be a short kit, or is it a ‘plan only and you scrounge all the parts from where ever you can’ type construction? :!:

If I could start building by next week that would be “Positively Spiffing.” (Translation = Marvellous ) :D

Love & kisses
Keith

Salut Keith  :D

Well... I can give you the plan for a beta build if you want next time I see you. But for the kit, you will have to wait a bit as we will order the prototypes next time we do an order for the shop kits. Should be soon.
Up to you, you can have the plan now, or the proto/kit and plan later. Can be moved to a winter build, all shiny for the new season !  :P

Fred Said;

No,no,no,.......for me the new season starts now! :D   Wind! my dear Chap, lots of WIND! :clap:

But if it's not ready I guess I'll have to wait until the kit is available :cry:
BTW is it a full kit?

I've been casting my eye over some VTPR models: Mudslides, Kulbutins, Voltij's, mini Toons, La Fish, Wasabi's and others. Hmmmmm, they do look FUN :?:

Right then my friend, I will await your advise as to when this new model from the "Marie" Hanger is available. (What are you going to call this masterpiece?)
Don't forget me Mon Ami,

Merci Beaucoup,

Keith

:lol:  Well yes, actually, big winds should be back soon !
31kph planned for Saturday (West)  :D

Anyway, sorry Keith, a bit slow on that one...  :(  For the kit, no details yet, as I still don't know in fact  :P  But you will be the first one to know what is going on.

Je ne t'oublierai pas !

Frédéric
