I am teaching my nephew Myles to fly.
He has picked it up very quickly thanks to lots of time on an Xbox.
We started on a weasel and moved onto a halfbad.
My Stinger 45 is reborn.
I plowed it into some shrub at 85mph DS'ing last weekend,Popping the tail off, breaking the nylon wingbolts and cracking the wing where i had completed a poor repair last year.
I glassed top and bottom inboard of the aileron cutouts, Now its very strong and ready for more punishment. The tail glued back on easily with some thin CA and a pipette. Painted the fuse/tail/wing with rustoleum spray paint and im quite happy with the finish.Colour and stripes is with vinyl.A couple of new 45HB servos for the wings and i call it done.Ready for a remaiden at Manilla slopefest.
The stinger is my favourite plane,It goes with me on every slope trip. At 45 inches the wings never need to come off for transport.If i could only pick one plane for slope use this would be it, It flies well in light lift right through to the heavy days.I love it so much i have ordered another just so i have a backup.

R2 hobbies Passer is ready for maiden. AUW is 560 grams or 19.75 oz, a little heavier than i would like. The kit quality is fantastic with a nice strong fuse and excellent covering job.I used HXT900's in the wing and HS55's for the vtail, an AR500 rx and 4.8v 800mah AAA Eneloop pack. I fitted the tow hook at 1/2 inch in front of CG.Looking forward to throwing this off the slope and high-start.
Well the M60 that was started at last years slopefest is almost done.
Im not happy with the hinge job using blenderm so i need to redo them with something better.Also it needs final balancing.

I picked up a carbon destiny from Andrew at Falcon Gliders.
I wanted something cheap but strong that i can DS and generally treat badly.
The basic hardware that comes with the plane is quite good so i have used the ball links on the wings
Servos are 82MG's because they are cheap enough and i have had good luck with them in other airframes.
I have opened up the wing saddle quite a bit so i can centre load the ballast tube and reinforce the saddle with carbon tow.
So i mixed up some resin
And added tow and 2oz glass to the saddle and in the canopy and nose.
I really need to buy a roller but i did the best i could with an epoxy brush.

Maiden went fantastic at trinity point 6-8 knots. After a few tosses to fix trim it went straight up,I got a sweet 20 minute flight sloping off some trees on the waters edge.
