Cheers Clive.

Sections are a bit thin to get the gear in too, so the nose pod makes a lot of sense.

Its too thin for a golf shaft so I am looking at 6mm carbon tube, spar channels have been cut but I still have some "issues" to resolve.

Wing panels are CNC cut, but I learned a couple of things along the way and I have a bit of remedial work to do, which I have become unacustomed to   :embarassed:

Also, about now, when Brian is heading to his workshop, I am heading for the pub. As a result, he seems to get things done a lot quicker than I do

Tim

Ah HAH! Thats how you do it!

Its been a while since I finished this toy, and since then the weather has been grot but today it got its maiden....at last. All but in lightish winds.
The CoG was a tad tail heavy, it finaly needed another 20gms in the nose to get that sweet spot, after that it flew great.
Rocket Ronnie did his maiden on the Bluto, and what with Timinator flying his refurbed new toy with the stuck on nose, it turned into a good day flying against one another. Glad to say there were no midairs.
Sorry no photos of it in the air, no cameras  :banghead:
If someone brings along a camera and manages to get an air shot I'll post it.  :af

Some photos taken today by the Timinator, thanks Tim. It was a great days flying no midairs again...
Had some fun racing the new toy against a half pipe and Tims new toy...It can hold its own in a straight line, but can it bang a turn, amazing

Just confirms my previous post that it looks futuristic or "Klingon" as the.Timinator puts it. Deffo "Bird of Prey" from Star Trek going on there.
I also notice that the red trim on the upper surfaces adds to this illusion, whilst in the shot taken from below (again to my eye) it looks like a hawk.
Crikey, my imagination IS running wild in my old age!

Clive   ;D

I have to say that Brian's new one does fly very well and the turns are very impressive.

Good to see something rather different in the air too in amongst all those generic planks. Tim's new one looks interesting too.
