Klaus , I got it back together...
 GregGold has me concerned that it may be too light for flying at Otford. would there be a minimum wing loading suitable for Otford.? Glenn |

looks great glenn! Was that the one you were adding ailerons to?
If it flies anywhere near as good as Steves passer thermo it'll be awesome. |

Thanks Dave, its a bit heavier than the Passer [600g] ,
Though at 980g and wing loading of 24g / dm squared I am still nervous about trying it at Otford. It has the Full length ailerons. All moving tailplane. Hope it to be a Good Learning experience. Glenn. |

I'm sure we've all ventured over there at some time and looked at it's jaws. Hopefully the Saggytail will stay clear of it for a while!

I also got it just didnt think it was funny
People who fly Otford also fly Mt Annan and visa verserand as the lift is crap at Otford In a NE blow they have and aternative that works but if you want to get all centralized on only typing about Otford here then so be it , I withdraw the comments. SteveW who gets the feeling of a bit of elitism sneaking in |
