Hi ,

Right with what Joe is saying..
The Pb with Topmodel is the expensive shipping price and the delay for receiving your machine...
I've paid a receiver once 35 euros, 30 euros of p&p.. and 4 weeks to arrived...That was my last order in Topmodel...

But depending of what you are looking for, I can have a look for you in France .
Weymuller is very good, Copaero too...

Scale / Kangaroo.. Australian Glider.. For Alan

« on: August 04, 2006, 09:41:38 AM »

Hi Alan,

No really.. Only 2 photos of this glider exist...

1 glider (full size), the last remaining is somewhere in Australia and in very bad shape....

So, no documentation available, no scale model...
A 3 views is not enough to build a machine (scale one).
And a semi scale is not that interresting

Scale / Kangaroo.. Australian Glider.. For Alan

« on: August 03, 2006, 21:43:37 PM »

Don't know if that's going to be my next project...
Big lack of documentations..Martin Simons sent me the only 2 photos of this glider but they are not usefull at all to build something scale / decent...

I'm a bit disapointed as I like this glider a lot...
But I've found another project, an old one to be exact, but that may change..

I want to build something...My plan to not touching a piece of wood for the remaining of the summer (break from building..) just last 2 weeks... :oops:

We'll see anyway.. I still have 1 or 2 "emergency" projects !

Yep,
In fact the west slope in Keelakee is a bit North West..

But the wind can change rapidely, so we'll see on Sunday morning.
I live 2 minutes from Keelakee, send me a text on sunday morning and I'll update you on the wind direction (if we can fly).

Thanks Alan.

I think I like the rebel thing in the name.
Just to remember that we are not doing things in the normal way, but a more efficient / friendly / cheaper way.

Really hard to me to express that, and I don't know if I'm clear here.
I think about it and come back later ! Wink
