Howdi Chris,

yeah, i test flew one of these a couple of years ago for someone and i though it was excellent. The crow braking is deadly effective.

MAnaged to get all the main assembly done today and put it togther for the first time. Also got the motor prop spinner and ESC installed. So it looked finished on the outside. Now  i need to install 6 servos and pushrods and horns. And make up about 50feet of servo leads.. hehe  :wink:

Looking forward to seeing tounntine again with the first of my new fleet.

Cheers

And btw... i have seen wild deer on our local slope Tounntine (Gerry b has already mentioned it to you). I have stalked them with camera only tho  :wink:

I remember my first ever glider flight under Gerry's supervision. I built a Spirit 100 from Great Planes. Was 1999 i think. I was a bag of nerves but once i got the hand of it i managed to fly it for about 40 minutes solo.. I thought i was going really well until i got it into some sink and crashed landed it half way down the valley... hehe... no damage tho. got lucky.

I had my video camera that day and I took some nice flying shots... then i saw 3 Deer crossing the slope a little further up from us and got them on camera... never forget it.

cheers

Hey Tracy and welcome.

Nice pics of models there... i especially like the Bird of Time cradled on the telemaster... would love to give that a try someday.

Was involved in shooting myself for about 5 years. Your son looks very happy, i bet you were a proud man that day.

Anywho, really enjoyed reading this thread.

later

Hey all,

Happy new year, Hope you are all well and still slightly mad in the head.... lol.

Anyway I sort of lost touch with RC in 2011, Work related shite mostly... but hopefully 2012 will be better.

I currently have nothing to fly on the slope so i rumaged around in Gerry B's vaste and wonderfull workshop and came out a couple of weeks later bewildered but just about alive with this !!!!

Not for the purest admitedly but as it will be the only glider i have this year it will serve my needs well me thinks. So far i have only the servo tray built and installed... but it should not be too long getting this together.

Cheers all
D.
