1/2.5 SHK (5.8m)
« on: August 05, 2023, 16:08:43 PM »
Alright, back to that one!

Seeing the great summer, time to prep a couple of machines. And it's the turn of the SHK today!

First flight was a couple of years ago if I recall, and after that weekend, lying in the shed! And that's a shame really has I keep flying the Phoebus I got at the same time... But now, time to get some more hours on it :)

Today's job:

Cleaning!
Add some scale immat (it will be a mix coming from the usual excellent Mr Fisher's 3 views, but main reg will be as below)
Add a Jeti Max Bec
Add a pilot

And if all goes well weather wise, set it up in the garden to do a quick radio check as it's too big to be put together inside unfortunately.
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

And we are done with what was planned!
Well, almost. Keeps having showers here, so can’t put the wings on for a quick check, cleanup and add the reg.

Anyway, main bits are done and everything works :)

Looking good, will you bring it to Falaise? I cannot wait to see it fly.

Sorry Ralph, will not be able to go to Falaise this year :( So far anyway! Not happy about that, but that might change at the last minute  :'(
Looks like I may have a last minute Plan B as I could really do with some sun!

Ah Balls, if you find out you can at the last minute, you can book a ticket as a foot passenger and come with me and Bill

See you on the 2nd and 3rd Sept? Want a bed?
