Yes, it’s that time of the year, when I finally retreat to a warm spot in front of my monitor.
Now is as good a time as any to update all the internal bits of the website, and you can be sure that something got bent in the process

So, if you spot something the should be working, but does not, just shout!

In the meantime, I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy dry, sunny 2012!

Art Tech Diamond 2500

Tom arrived this weekend with a new glider, a massive EPO beast with a wing span (2670 mm). This is what i would call a real ready to fly model with everything pre fitted including its six servos a 14×6 folding prop strapped on to a A3720 brushless outrunner and a 60 AMP speed controller all powered by a 4 cell lipo. ..

The test flight went with out a issue, there was even enought power to make Desi’s hand launch look good..

This weekend Mathew and his dad Trevor had organized round two of this year’s area aerobatics competition to be held at Tmac. So a few off us took advantage and decided to stay over as luck would have it the strong winds disappeared and left us with light winds and fantastic sunshine..

Here’s a few photos from the competition..

Taming the beast has been quite a job, but from the looks of it, it was worth the effort! Of course it could be the sticker I stuck on the cowl, hinting (to the engine) that if it was not gonna behave it would end up at the bottom of the nearby ocean!

Let’s say, the main engine problem was Not Enough Fuel, caused by various carburetor bits, not being quite adjusted/matched as they should have been. It really helps to read all of the Walbro manuals to give you an idea of what is supposed to happen, and then you can figure out why it does not happen, and then you go and get the big adjustment hammer to make it so!

I must say, the one flight I had with it, was actually nice. It flies like a (overpowered) trainer, and the landing speed is so slow it catches you out! If al else fails, a pound of gravity should sort it out

Fly past...

10" besides the runway? ok then..

Look at me, wheels up!!

..na, I'm not so sure about that...
