D - 1905 looks a lot like a Ka6 to me My hangar space... Far, far too many to list, but the gliders of interest to you guys are: X-Models Swift, Pike WR, Willow, Wizard Compact, Ka 8, Redshift, Claymore, Sunbird, e-Sunbird & MiniVec. Others too!

A couple of years ago the restaurant over the road had need of a temporary wine store, and it used this decommissioned beach hut. Work over, I was asked if I could use a beach hut. Mark and I carried the bits over the road, put it together, and I put a GRP roof on it. It is now my hangar: . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentPilot Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I’ve a stack of planes awaiting repair or TLC. Just not got the time since my little one came along. Some are very easy too. Just a quick spot of glue here and there but any free time I get I would rather fly than fix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oipigface Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The fuselage repairs are top of the list because I can't race with broken ones. The Gulp and Lo100 should really be joint second, because both are being painted, and close to completion. I started to build the Lo100 when I imagined that I would have more time for such things than turned out to be the case. I had moved from Hull, where I had been given a piece of scrap dural by one of the local flyers who worked at the BAe plant at Brough building wings for Hawks. I remember starting in the garage of a rented house in Colchester where I cut all the hinges, the wing retainer, and all the other aluminium pieces from it. Then things got busy at work, and progress slowed. I don't remember when I actually finished the airframe, but I've carried it around partially covered during several job moves and retirement. Finishing it was actually my main job for last winter, and since I didn't succeed I hope to get it done this year. I'm astonished that the glued joints all seem to have stayed secure! The Pitbull upgrade comes before the Reiher, because it will then be a third-string racing machine. The Reiher I bought from this Forum a couple of years ago because I thought it would be nice to get my hand back in at the building board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 1. Wing repair to my Xplorer, where I landed it in a tree in my last comp of the year. 2. Build SAS WildThing and learn to fly slope. 3. Convert current models to Jeti, slowly. 4. Re tune my F5J models, with my new GliderThrow gauge :-).... Regards Eamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 ". Re tune my F5J models, with my new GliderThrow gauge :-)...." Isn't that working slightly backwards? Final tuning in flight should trump any proposed initial settings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Your right but the ability to set all my movements and ensure they are accurate and balanced, will allow for a far more accurate in flight final tune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
