    Now sold, thanks!
  11. Sad to loose another comp, but very wise decision taking everything into consideration. Hope the comp can be rescheduled.
  12. A difficult, but I suspect correct decision. My thanks to the organisers for bearing the weight.
  13. This comp has been cancelled - sorry. (Explanation in the edited original post).

    Should I program up aileron with brakes?

    Mick's models generally needed to be flown relatively fast to prevent stalling. If you wish to fly slower it may be worth experimenting with adding camber, rather than reflex. You will need to be careful with the inputs. Depending on your skill level, landing faster is probably your safest option.

    Bungee launch large scale

    I have seen bungees used in Italy to launch stingrays,swifts etc ….and they use 3,4 or more lengths of very heavy duty rubber tubing and thats only launching 6-10kg . I know it’s been done with scale but I’m not sure as someone coming to it from scratch how successful it’s going to be . and 26kg is no light weight

    Should I program up aileron with brakes?

    I've tried the up aileron and it didn't have much effect to counter the tip stalling. Now I'm thinking I would try some turbulator tape from Hyperflight. Any suggestions on placement on the wing. I'm thinking the last 20cm at 20% chord?

    Hi Martyn Sorry for confusion. I flew almost the exact time with both classes, give or take a second. If easier just record which ever is easier for you. As we know it's just a fun challenge

    Hi David This is confused of Nantwich.. Are both scores for F3 and F5 identical? I think the quoted score above is F5 but really rather unsure.. Martyn

    Bungee launch large scale

    I tried it with a 4mtr Pilatus. It didn't work on that occasion. There wasnt much wind on the slope. I never tried again, as despite double staking and a safety line , it scared the ....... Perfectly doable but may take a few attempts to understand what conditions are needed on your slope

    Bungee launch large scale

    Have a good think about how you are going to secure the bungee into the ground - capable of a heavy pull. A ground stake coming back at you at speed is not good. Phil.

    RESCO - F5L - 19 June - 21 mins 29 secs It was the first day for quite a while up here since the wind speed has been so low and I managed to get a couple of hours up at my flying field before the dreaded appointment with the dentist! The first seven flights were nothing special at all with a maximum of around just three minutes. The seventh was much better and I launched into much more buoyant air which took me to around 190m. After that it was a case of sink and lift for a while before I found stronger lift that got me to 230m. Sink then followed with a little more lift at times, but the general trend was downwards. Unfortunately and frustratingly I had to leave around lunchtime and I suspect the best conditions were yet to come through the afternoon.
  26. I've gained permission for either day now. In terms of forecast, Sunday is looking cooler but very gusty (low 30's). Saturday hotter but calmer (gusts up to 20). I think it also depends where you look for your forecast. Justin.
