Hey Joe,

Not flown unfortunately, just 3 test launches as there was no wind for the PSS day, but got a special prize for it 😁😁

Will fly it at Mount Leinster whenever the weather permits 😃👍

Could the Customs guys have thought it might have been a timer for some illicit device?

Some closet anti-Freeflighter freak must have got in there. The package was well sealed and included the timer, plans of my new E 20 Blizzard FF duration model (due for publication in August Aeromodeller), three 3D printed motor mounts for it and the photo CD with a collection of MACI contests from the 60's and 70's.
I think I have another timer somewhere and will send it on.

Hi John,

 the package arrived the other day thank you. I found the plans and the CD with the photos however the timer has gone OOS in the post.

Thanks again for the effort and look forward to catching up in Sept.

All the best

I am sure it will fly in our summer weather. The carbon LE and spar will make it quite rigid and strong. I would be interested in the weight of the model so far and if you had any information on the materials used for the printing. I am sure someone is bound to want to print something like this

Keep up the good work

Hi Alan.

Once it is completed I will take it to one of the meetings for sure.
Regarding the weather to be able to fly it, that is another thing.  :)
Every once in a while I get some suitable weather around the house, so, maybe I will put it to use.

Thanks
