How to... / How to ... fix this :(
« on: April 02, 2011, 22:40:13 PM »
Well a nice day gone bad...  :cry:  :cry:

I went up to the hill today, weather was nice, a bit to windy, but nice.. Had my Cularis ready in no time. I was soooo looking forward to a few hours spent flying....

But as soon as the plane was in the air I´ve noticed way to much up trim..I was trying to correct this with the trimms on the Tx but even with max trim it was still going up...After 15 min I have landed no problemo...adjusted the elevator manualy and went fluing again...This time slightly nose heavy but way better than before...
After a 30 min A massive cloud just appeared from nowhere :(
I tryed landing before it starts raining...I was cca. 15m higt when srong wind pushed the nose straight down :cry:  I was to low to do anything :cry:
The plane went down like a dart :cry:  and thats the result :






What to do? :?:  Just epoxy it together?will it be strong enough??the foam on the nose is a bit compressed... I have some glassfibre math left and epoxy resign..could I fibreglass the whole belly?...
Any advice welcome..

Hi Guys,
  I thought I´ll post some pictures of my first flight this year. Im in midlands area  and I have never heard of anybody else flying gliders around here and Im 5 years here so its kind of nice to know that  there are other s  :D around the country
  There are not  to many slopes around here but  I still get a good  flying out here. Devils Bit, Tountinna and Slieve Blooms. Imto lazy to climb up so Im trying to find slopes that I can acces by car. Anyway..
  Today was a fantastic day so I took my Fox out after work for a first time this year.(a bit rusty) Unfortunately  the wind calm down before I could get any lift so I had to cheat with electric power :lol: ..Anyway Nice day out

I have one question guys. Whats the story with Gliders, Slope Soaring and MACI? Do I nead to register, or get some kind of licence?

And thats my Fox:




Happy Flying
