Brilliant news Chris
think mines pretty much flat tip to tip but can be adjusted by lengthening the basebar to fine tune
been looking at mine hanging in the garage and am gonna get round to finishing it very soon

gonna have a good year flying these around

regards,mark

Radio Controlled Model Microlight (5 min 32 sec)

And here is the video......Thanks again Mark..........
Happy Landings
Chris.......

Wow Chris that is flying superb!
big congratulations
it looks so smooth and stable flying now

i just showed my wife this video and she said youve done a brilliant job of it!

thanks for sharing the video i really enjoyed watching one of these flying on the other side of the world, how cool is that!

regards,mark

few small modifications ive done to mine to allow shorter flying wires,
being shorter they will be much easier to replace as i wont have to replace a whole length if one side breaks or frays and the one left in place will eliminate the need to setup the parts position again (a-frame position for example) because the other side will be still holding it
makes field repairs a hell of a lot easier

Nice work..........
Chris.....

cheers chris,
gonna try my hardest to get this thing finished for next weekend,
looking forward to flying it again and showing everyone the new trike

G'day Mark
Now this is what they call "Hot Pink"........I think it should be visible from a good distance.
You will also notice an extra spar.............This wing is for the MK-2 trike......should be flying soon .
Chris..........

wow you dont hang around do you Chris!
the sail is very impressive and professional looking!

i just showed the wife and she said 'he wont loose that in a hurry will he!'

Mark hope your mods have gone well sorry that i could not make it at the weekend but well looking forward to coming over very soon and take some pictures of your super microlite and thanks for taking the time to speak to me on the phone im slowly going off plane's and becoming a microlite freak keep up the good work buddy and on good news my grandson has now been released from hospital so alls well here

HOT PINK RC Microlight (5 min 11 sec)

I took Pinky out for a test today....and was pleasantly surprised.
It took of on the first attempt...and after a few circuits. I landed and strapped on the camera
.The wind was a little on the strong side....but did not cause any great probs.
The bad landing was down to me not giving a blip of power just before touching down. I have several minor changes to make, and I'm sure it will then handle a lot better.
The pink does not come out very good on the video, but it is pretty clear in the sky.
Well Mark .I think that I should be able to put some pic's and info into the build thread soon.
Happy Landings
Chris...............

britinoz that would be good if you would put a build blog as these little blighters seem to be getting more and more coverage

Hi Paul!
good to see you on here and great news about your grandson!

the mods are going well on the microlight thanks, itll definately be ready for a fly this weekend! just finishing off a few details like side skirts etc.

yeah these aircraft get abit addictive because theyre so different,
ive learnt so much but still got a fair bit to learn about the model version so that tends to keep the interest going.
looking forward to you coming over mate so i can show you around it properly and maybe even get a flight out of it if the weather plays ball! lol
whenevers good for you paul just give me a ring

Chris, you could of warned me to put my sunglasses on before watching the video!
that wing is so bright! lol
looking good though and if you could put some info in the build thread thatd be brilliant, thanks

keep the pics and videos coming mate

heres a few pics of mine so far,
ive just started the double surface on the wing too so will add abit more realism,
cant wait to fly it again!

Mark i had to look twice at the first pic mate i thought it was a real one till i seen the guitar at the rear hope to see you at the weekend buddy all the best Paul

Thanks paul
yeah hopefully see you this weekend, weathers looking like its gonna be dry so fingers crossed!

Gave Pinky a flight today.....the line between the "A" frame and the wing snapped some how the prop grabbed it and wrapped around the shaft pulling the wing back and to one side. Was a bit hairy for a time....but managed to land the beast in one piece.....don't know how...
