Slope Soaring / Sailplanes International AXLE

Sailplanes International AXLE
an oldie but a goodie.so i'm told.
looks like a speedy sloper,interesting thing about this glider is that it has all moving wings instead of ailerons!
i got this from a friend of mines dad.he used to fly slope around dublin until ten or fifteen years ago.he gave me a bunch of stuff in various states.most of which need an aweful lot of work to get going again.
the Axle is unfinished and in good nick.it has a molded fuse(fibreglass and polyester apparently)and obechi covered foam wings.the tail is already done,but i might remove it and redo.it's a little wobbly.wings need sanding and covering.the radio gear has to go in and i'll probably give the fuse a light sand and a coat of paint.
at the moment it's two servos.one for the wings and one for the elevator(all moving stab).no rudder.might put two servos in for the wings if i like it and it flies well.two servos will give me a few more options like differential and linking the wings like flaperons.could be interesting!!!
here's how it looks at the moment.will finish it off in a few weeks and have it ready for Cork :lol:

Ventus 2c 1:6 model of the Shempp-Hirth sailplane.
Molded fuse with sheeted foam wings by Baudis Models (available from http://www.topmodel.fr)
Again looks good and flys good.
Had some problems at the start.Stalled very easily and very nastily.Was dissapointed with it.Big thanks to Fred.He advised me to change the incidence angle of the Stab.Added 3mm of balsa and it's like flying a different plane.Thanks again Fred!.May be a common problem?.Seen some people on RCGroups with the same problem.
Nice in light conditions on the slope.Lookin forward to getting a tow!
No winglets in the pics.Got two right winglets with it.All good now
Full Size.Nice!
