Alright so, between drawing scale gliders (3 on the board right now!  :D ) and to take my head away from these drawings from time to time, I have drawn a few "sport" machines.


The first two are aerobatic gliders, based on the Quark. One is 2m WS, and the other one, is 1.10m WS, for those small slopes, and to bring everywhere with you  :D

Building should only take a couple of days as they are really simple machines  :D

And today, very quiet at work (Friday I guess!) so I did a flying wing, but an aerobatic one (well, that's the plan anyway!).
Big ailerons, huge rudder, and AZ profile. That should do it nicely  :D

The plans should be available to download after I built them, starting with the aerobatic gliders  :D

Enough to keep me busy this summer, before the long winter builds  :D

Anyone interrested in one of these, let me know  :D

All these deals have been done whilst I was polishing my car over the weekend !
Naughty boys !!!!!!!!
JP , I'm not playing with you anymore    :D

On a serious note, Fred , this looks like a fun fun plane for the slope.
I look forward to seeing this one fly.

No, he was making his latest epic movie. 8)  

Titled  "A Passion for Planes” it stars a Windrider Fox and tells the story of how a simple lad from N.I. discovered model planes, and with the help of his dad grew up to become a world class slope champion. :clap:

MGM are going to release it soon under the genre of Love Stories.

(I know Richard isn’t a world class slope champion yet, but then he hasn’t grown up yet either! :lol: )

Oh to be young at heart! :roll:

Trying to cut wings for a new video platform, a powered glider before you bite my head of  :clap:
My ex mate( Pearson) and I went up to slieve gallion last night and had a few enjable flights. It was baltic on the Mountain. So much for summer evenings on the slope.
I so missed you lovable chaps from Glider Ireland.  :lol:
