Kenneth Paine Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hello All, I have just joined the forum despite being a life long modeller. My main activities are slope soaring and electric sport flying. I am keen builder posting my projects in nauseating detail on RCGroups.com under the name Kenneth Paine. I currently have a scratch built Rotor pitcheron and a scratch built 1:5 scale Discus, both with vac-bagged wings and awaiting maiden flights. Over the Christmas break I framed up an Inside F5J kit, but all its internal gear is stuck at Höllein in Germany thanks to the new Covid strains. I look forward to meeting some of you on the slopes.

Justin Mellor Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi Kenneth - Justin here from the Prestbury Park MFC (with an Inside F5J as well). Sorry to hear that your gear for the Inside has not yet arrived. I have received my new Explorer Q in the post, but also don't have the servos/motor/prop to fit in it. Hope to catch up with you on the field or the slope when the weather improves - it needs to be a lot warmer than this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Paine Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Pete, Justin, Thank you for your warm welcome. Justin, what span is your Explorer Q? I am sure it won't flutter like your Inside F5J! I look forward to catching up with you at the field or slopes when the weather and circumstances improve.

Kenneth Paine Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Thank you Marc. By the time lockdown is loosened I will have the Inside F5J ready too, and I already have a 2m slope world-beater on the drawing board to build next.

Justin Mellor Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi Kenneth - my Explorer Q is 3.8m. I also have a 2.7m Art Hobby glider for the slope, ready to go - plenty of good slopes round here. Hope to join you on the slope - Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Paine Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Justin, I look forward to meeting you on the slope too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Paine Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) HI all! The Discus was maidened on the 12th of July. Proof can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9kR1pdE_Ys There was minimum wind as you can tell from how clearly you can hear our conversation. Later the wind picked up and I had a blast throwing the Discus around the sky in a completely un-scale manner, but my cameraman was enjoying the conditions too with his own model so we caught no footage of the second flight, and then I dinged it on its second landing.

Kenneth Paine Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi Graham, I will fly it at the Prestbury Park club flying site north of Bishops Cleeve. Kenneth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Lorimer Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Good morning Kenneth I fly at least twice a week (weather permitting) at the Malvern site in Upton on Severn, 17 miles to get here and a great bunch of dedicated Thermal Flyers, several Cheltenham guys are members, great field with a lot of thermal activity. Let me know if you want to visit some time. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to doing so in due course; it would be good to coordinate then. Kind regards, Kenneth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
