Re: First Scale Project Yiipi!!!!!!!!!
I've been looking at these but I want something a little bigger. I'd like something in the 4-5m range.
Had a fly of a mates 6m DG1000. What a nice model to fly, was able to make good use of light lift.

pics
i got a nice package at work today
 , so first impressions..  far i cant say much for the hinging.. one ail wont move down, and i had to do some smoothing to get the ele to move down.. hinges are tight.. but pre hinged,, and that  wing rod... looked like a ~ untell i trued it enough to get in the wings and fuse.. but i did get in a bench fly! hahah the retact i have a hunch wont last long at my field.. the airbrakes sure do have play in them as said before. more to come once i get teh gear for it, should be a fast build once i get teh gear for it.. .. mike

Re: First Scale Project Yiipi!!!!!!!!!
So the quaility ain't that good. I think I'm going to have a go at scratch building a older style scale glider. Hope to have something ready for the summer months over here.

Re: First Scale Project Yiipi!!!!!!!!!
well the thing to remember modern sailplanes done have big cowls to slow it down, this is as close to flying a bullet a human can get, im currently taken out the airbrake system so i can put washers behide the mount to get rid of some binding.
