Hi Cracroft
Welcome to RC Groups.
If you are just starting out and are interested in electric flight, you may want to check out the GWS Slow Stick, they are great flyers!
I'm on my third one, been flying them for 4 years and still fly one.

has try the PARK SHARK , its excellent for

More hard to handle .

i'm actually building a pulling type of SHARK

Hey that is a pretty cool plane... What type of motor are you using???

Usually we fly at the parks in downtown or if it is a really nice day we go to a park in the south shore that is in front of the st lambert's locks. It is a soccerfield that is usually empty.

We fly slowstick and a foamie that is quite radical that we called "The door" we found the plans on the web and it flies pretty cool...

I will send you the plans attached here...

Hope to see you flying one day... Hopefully summer will be here soon... And with it a lot of sunny no windy days!!!

Bororin.

Hi Bororin,

Nice job on that ESPA3D. I built one a while back out of depron, it's been since retired. Do you have a spar in the wing? I didn't have one in mine and the wings flexed like mad.

Good luck with your maiden flight.

Leon.

Thanks Leon.

It was windy and this is radical plane so I flew only 2 packs but it was really nice... Looking forward to a nice summer day.
Instead of a spar I put a lot of tape... that holds it together without increasing weight...

Are you aware of the Canadian rule that all Canadian pilots must have at least one flying wing or delta and preferrably the Avro Arrow.

Ol Fella. Your just a baby. Old is defined as over the age where you can't fly anymore.
