Hey Fred,
              Maci events site needs updating as no glider events listed. People wont go if they don't know.

Yea Chris,
              That was the best flying of the day. Lift was much better than on the hilltop, only the low sun made it difficult. Should have gone there earlier.

You don't have to get it all off if you recover in opaque film as it melds in with the new covering unless you want to recover with transpararent.

Try removing the old remaining glue with cellotape. It's a bit of a tedious process. Not sure how it will work on foam.

Slope Soaring / Fpv gliding
« on: August 24, 2016, 17:18:05 PM »
I've made a self contained fpv camera system to fit on any glider or plane and am going to try it out on my trusty middle phase. To give myself some chance of success I have fitted the phase with a stabilisation system (switchable on or off). Center the sticks and it self rights and flies at a nice glide angle (I tested this on the slope and it works really well. It flies better than I can). I used a ccd board from a small quad using Libre pilot firmware. Now to try flying with goggles.
