Almost ready. Unfortunately It won’t be ready for the September flyin. I ran out of lead so I can’t balance it.

Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Thanks Bill and Fred.

Fred if you have any spare sheet lead that would be great.

Looks great Alan - I have a big roll of sheet lead.  I will lop some off for you in the morning and bring it down. My X-Res is nearly finished but uncovered so I am a few weeks off a test flight.

Well, after more than 10 years I finally flew my Skylark 2 for the first time at the Cork Fly-In.
It flys ok. Still needs to be tweaked. Could not find any lift so all the flights were just up and down.
Thanks Ralph for all the tows.

Thanks Fred and Ralph.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it in August. I have relatives coming over from Germany.
